Safety

We’re dedicated to safety. The focus of every employee on accident prevention, combined with comprehensive safety policies and programs, has earned Cochran one of the lowest experience modification rates (EMR) in the industry.

The efforts of our people go far beyond simply ensuring compliance with all federal, state and local safety regulations and requirements. A written safety plan is prepared for every project, detailing the hazards specific to the project and recommending ways to minimize their threat. Specialized training is then provided for addressing unique hazards such as confined spaces, heights, respiratory exposure and any other job-specific risks.

“Safety First” is not just a slogan—it’s the way we do business.
