Contractor-OSHA partnership to guide Mass. construction project
A Massachusetts company will develop a safety and health plan that will serve as a benchmark for subcontractors working on a new Science Center at Amherst College, under a strategic partnership signed with OSHA.
The plan calls for between Barr & Barr Inc., a construction management company, to set out requirements and goals for project subcontractors to meet or exceed. It will be administered by qualified safety and health representatives. Its elements will include quarterly safety stand-downs; weekly meetings with subcontractors to discuss project safety issues; reviews of upcoming work; comprehensive analyses of job hazards, and an annual evaluation of the partnership.
