Safety

Norwood’s Award-Winning Safety Program is designed to help protect everyone from preventable injuries by putting SAFETY FIRST on all of our work sites. 

Norwood is a Partnership Participant of the United States Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) through Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC).  We are audited annually through S.T.E.P., ABC’s Safety Training and Evaluation Process. Our efforts continue to earn the Diamond level status, a designation given to those companies that display the highest level of safety performance and long-term commitment to job site safety.  Additionally, Norwood’s Corporate Safety Committee has been certified by The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. These partnerships, coupled with our expert leadership, help Norwood achieve an impressive EMR, well below the industry standard, as well as excellent customer scores on Avetta & ISNetworld Prequalification platforms.

Norwood excels in managing the complex logistics of building in occupied and operational facilities, ensuring minimal disruption while upholding the highest standards of safety and security. We expertly navigate projects that require rigorous infection control measures and secure work zones. Providing full-time on-site supervision, our team will create a separation of construction and living spaces, clearly communicate restricted areas, provide way-finding signage throughout the site, and operate with the vigilance and sensitivity necessary to communicate safety requirements with residents so they understand how to maintain daily activities safely. If desired, Norwood can install a security monitoring system as an additional layer of security. On your job site, Norwood’s team will implement a tailored logistics plan and a site-specific safety plan to ensure a clean and safe environment where each worker is an active and willing participant in our safety culture.
