SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE DIRECTOR
ESI's Safety and Environmental Compliance Director conducts job site safety audits throughout various phases of each project to ensure job sites are adhering to all Federal, State and Local safety regulations. Each Project Manager works in union with the Safety Director and makes certain all its Superintendents are trained in Fall Protection, SWPPP, Forklift Safety and the OSHA 10-Hour Class.
OSHA PARTNERSHIP
ESI has formed a partnership with OSHA as part of OSHA's Strategic Alliance Program and works with this agency to ensure that our job sites are in compliance with all safety requirements. Our OSHA approved, company-wide safety policy and day-to-day practices clearly demonstrate our commitment to providing and maintaining a safe and healthy work environment. Our workers compensation experience modification rate is significantly below the industry standard. ESI has produced this outstanding safety record by encouraging and providing training and education for our entire staff, both in the office and in the field.
SWPPP TRAINING FOR EMPLOYEES
Every Superintendent and Project Manager at ESI is trained and certified as a Qualified Storm Water Construction Inspector. This training specifically covers storm water regulations, storm water pollution prevention plans, best management practices, site inspection procedures, endangered species and historical preservation impacts. This certification qualifies our staff to perform the necessary storm water site inspections.
SITE INSPECTIONS
ESI has implemented a double check system to ensure all our construction sites are in compliance with State and Federal SWPPP regulations and inspection submission requirements.
ESI takes SWPPP compliance very seriously and we have instituted the necessary safe-guards to ensure compliance at every level.
OUR COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT
At the beginning of each project, bins or other means of containment are set up to hold separated recyclable scraps and materials. Local processors in the area are contacted and arrangements are made for scheduled pick ups of stored and separated paper, cardboard, concrete and metal. Because these materials comprise more than 90 percent of the total Construction and Demolition waste stream, ESI is committed to doing our part in being environmentally responsible by sorting, recycling and diverting recyclable materials from landfills to the greatest extent possible.
