Safety management
How the program operates in the field
The Safety & Compliance Division implements training, field inspections, incident prevention and regulatory compliance under OSHA, Cal/OSHA and agency-specific requirements.
Daily job hazard analysis and tailboard briefings
Crews document site-specific hazards, control measures, escape routes and emergency contacts before work begins each day.
Equipment inspection protocols
Digital Vehicle & Equipment Inspection Reports run through SiteDocs, with defects logged and corrected before operation.
Environmental compliance oversight
Erosion control, riparian buffers, sensitive species protection, spill prevention and dust suppression are managed as safety controls, not afterthoughts.
Certifications and training
Credentials held across the workforce
Certifications are tracked centrally and verified before crews mobilize.
