strength in safety
Our comprehensive safety protocols, training, and culture of vigilance ensure that every project is executed with the highest regard for the well-being of all involved.
Industry-leading safety standards
As part of Clark Construction, we have safety expectations and requirements that are among the most stringent in the industry. We continuously evaluate the way we build and challenge the status quo.
Below are some important recent advancements:
- Requiring safety helmets for all employees and trade contractors
- Requiring third-party inspections of mobile cranes before they are placed into operation
- Implementing comprehensive falling object prevention measures, including tool tethering, strategic material storage, and full-height netting
- Elevating our minimum cut-level for gloves
- Retrofitting equipment with a Keytroller Slingbelt
Safety Helmets
As part of Clark, we became the first general contractor in the United States to require all employees to wear safety helmets with chin straps, in 2017. This change offers greater protection against traumatic brain injuries and other head injuries.
In 2022 – again as the first contractor to do so – we extended the requirement to all trade contractors working on our jobsites nationwide.
Heavy Equipment
In 2019, the National Equipment Group led an effort to minimize the dangers of operating heavy equipment.
After extensive research, the team had our equipment retrofitted with a Keytroller Slingbelt – a piece of equipment that makes it virtually impossible to operate heavy equipment without a buckled seatbelt.
