Safety

Since the company's inception in 1961, cHc has focused on the safety of all employees.  Our full-time safety coordinator diligently works to maintain and enhance our comprehensive safety and health program for both shop fabrication and field erection.

Participation in business association safety committees, in addition to both the OSHA and OBWC safety programs, provides knowledge for continuous classroom and hands-on training for all employees. This emphasis on safety gives value by engendering an overall company safety consciousness and has yielded below-average incident rates and an experience modification rate that our customers demand.

Training

All field supervisors participate in the OSHA 30 Hour Training Course and have substantial training in the OSHA 1926 Construction regulations.  Shop personnel receive training based on the OSHA 1910 General Industries regulations.
