Safety is our first priority



Landmark has developed a “Culture of Safety” which begins during project planning and estimating. Communication of the project’s progress and any potential hazards with site administration and staff is key. For every project, we plan for multiple visits per month by our independent safety inspector. We conduct weekly safety meetings, or more frequently depending on the complexity of the project. Additionally, each project team is required to complete relevant jobsite safety analysis for critical functions occurring onsite. This thoughtful approach to safety permeates every step of the construction process and is evident by our three-year average EMR of 0.85.

The safety of the students and staff at each site as well as the community, the project team, and subcontractors are all of the utmost importance. Even prior to mobilization, our team develops our project specific logistics and phasing plan with safety in mind. Factors we consider, with the assistance of the site staff, include traffic patterns, campus activities, potential on-site hazards, testing and special events, and student access needs.

Company “Culture of safety”
  • Training all employees in hazard recognition and corrective action including OSHA 30/OSHA 10
  • Providing the necessary PPE to employees and proper use and care of PPE information
  • Developing and enforcing safety and health policies and procedures
  • Requiring employees to follow the policies and procedures as a condition of employment
  • Daily Superintendent Safety Walk/Review of project site
  • Job Hazard Analysis submission and review ahead of complex or high risk tasks
  • Investigating every accident or near miss promptly to find the root cause and implement corrective action to prevent further occurrences
    OSHA site review
  • OSHA 30 Training for all Supervisors and OSHA 10 Training for all Foremen

Site Considerations
  • Education Code Section 45125.1 DOJ fingerprinting of ALL WORKERS ONSITE regardless of supervision status and physical barriers onsite to restrict student and worker interaction.
  • Implementation and management of Sunol Glen Unified School District Identification Badges, including monitoring our subcontractors to ensure each worker onsite is properly cleared and badged.
  • Worker parking in designated areas only.
  • Well-marked Delivery locations, with spotter, to avoid traffic impacts.
  • Minimizing Campus disruptions when working on occupied campuses is important to our construction team. For example, we avoid entering areas where instruction is occurring, and lunch whenever possible.
  • As a K-12 specialty contractor, Landmark is always Tobacco free, Drug free, utilizes acceptable language, and requires appropriate and safe dress.
Safety Meetings
  • Conducting safety inspections weekly or more often as well as unannounced outside safety consultant audit of each jobsite.
  • Weekly site safety tailgate topic review and discussion for all site personnel and trade partners.
  • Quarterly Safety Review Meetings where the company shares safety issues and ideas for improvement.
