Safety in the U.S.Commercial construction companies must ensure compliance
with a wide range of regulatory requirements, from environmental standards to
legal employment practices. One of the most important concerns a commercial construction
company must control is safety. The federal government considers construction
safety a significant concern. In 2006, more than 59% of all federal inspections
performed by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) nationwide,
22,891 inspections in all, took place in the construction sector. OSHA conducted
an additional 27,672 state inspections at construction jobsites. Bob
Moore Construction Company and SafetyBob Moore Construction's safety program
is so successful that this commercial construction company has been named a member
of the OSHA Local Partnership program, only the fifth general contractor or commercial
construction company in north and east Texas to earn this federally endorsed recognition.
Because of the stringent requirements needed to qualify as a Local Partner, commercial
construction companies who join the select group of local OSHA Partners are automatically
rolled into OSHA's state Partnership program as well. The company's acceptance
as an OSHA Local Partner is the latest indication that Bob Moore Construction's
safety program ranks at the top for commercial construction companies in Texas.
