Safety At Timberline
Safety First: It is a phrase heard often, and it is one that is part of the fabric of our culture. Safety is integral to everything we do. It is considered during the preconstruction phase of our projects through to the field execution and construction.
We know that safety does not happen by chance. Our culture of safety is from the top down and our team is committed to instilling the safety-first mindset on every job site with every subcontractor. We take into consideration our client’s specific needs and objectives while tailoring each individual project with a site-specific safety plan.
All Timberline’s Project Superintendents are OSHA 30-hour trained and our project management team receives yearly OSHA training to instill the understanding and importance of what needs to happen on all of their sites. Proper planning, communication and commitment to safety are expected and required by all project participants.
To further instill accountability in our team and project sites, Timberline works with a third-party consultant, Contractor’s Risk Management, who performs independent inspections of our project sites. This ensures adherence to all safety standards and the most up-to-date alerts on any safety changes or guidelines our team should be aware of.
Our dedication to safety has resulted in Timberline’s low Experience Modification Rate (EMR) record and we also have an International Suppliers Network identification number, both available upon request.
Our Award-Winning Safety Culture
At Timberline, we take immense pride in our safety record and the recognition it brings. We are honored to have received the Massachusetts Associated Builders & Contractors (ABC) Safety Training and Evaluation Process (STEP) Diamond Award for two consecutive years, 2023 and 2024. This prestigious accolade represents the highest level of recognition within the STEP program and underscores our dedication to maintaining an exceptional safety culture across all our projects.
Winning the STEP Diamond Award signifies that Timberline is over 500% safer than the construction industry average, as confirmed by data from ABC. This achievement is a testament to our outstanding safety practices and reflects our commitment to fostering a safe working environment for our employees, subcontractors, and clients.
We recognize that safety is a continuous journey, and we remain dedicated to enhancing our safety protocols and training programs to uphold our high standards. Our back-to-back recognition underscores our relentless pursuit of excellence in safety and reinforces our belief that a strong safety culture is paramount to the success of every project we undertake.
