Safety in our industry is not just a requirement—it is a responsibility shared by every individual involved along the continuum, from the office to the field, and everything in between. Our industry builds the infrastructure that communities depend on, and that work must always place safety at its helm. A strong safety culture protects workers, strengthens teams, improves productivity, and ensures projects are completed with integrity and professionalism. By committing to proper training, clear communication, and accountability at every level, we are committed to going above and beyond to ensure that every worker returns safely home. To that end, CPMCA provides resources and incentives to promote construction safety and a well-trained workforce.
Safety Training
CPMCA provides top-quality safety training through our Education Program. We provide training for employees at different levels, from project managers to foremen to executives, with an eye to improving work and business practices in the context of safety. We welcome our members and their teams to attend any of our training seminars at little or no cost. Membership also includes the availability of online webinars via ClickSafety.
Safety Awards
The Annual CPMCA Safety Star Awards recognize and reward safety excellence and provide statistical reports to all candidates by which they can evaluate their company’s safety performance. Awards are based on Recordable Case Incidence Rates and Lost Workday Cases Incidence Rates, in each category by company size and type of work. Companies with the lowest incidence rates and fewest workdays lost will receive awards. Winners receive public recognition and are awarded a prize to share with the workforce.
CPMCA Safety Committee
The CPMCA Safety Committee includes safety professionals from our member contractors. The group meets regularly to share news, legal and regulatory updates, ideas, best practices, and stories on the topic of safety.
