Alcohol and Drug-Free Workplace Program

Every employee participates in our Alcohol and Drug-Free Workplace program.

Training & Certification Programs

All construction superintendents and project managers receive OSHA training and an annual refresher course on various safety topics and company policies and procedures. The Safety Department also conducts frequent safety meetings on each of our projects addressing site specific issues. Certification programs include Excavation Competent Person, First Aid / CPR, and Fall Prevention & Protection Competent Person & Equipment Inspection training.

Subcontractor Compliance

The belief in protecting employees also extends to subcontractors through training sessions on KVCC policies and procedures. Subcontractors are thoroughly evaluated, continuously monitored for safe practices, and carefully reviewed prior to signing contracts.

Jobsite Safety Inspections

KVCC jobsites are inspected daily for traffic control, employee work practices and PPE usage by the Safety Director and an outside Safety Contractor to ensure the employees are following the company’s safety program. Also, safety department personnel conduct regular "Walkthroughs" on all jobsites.

Weekly Toolbox Talks

The foreman and superintendents, along with our Safety Director, engage our employees in weekly safety meetings to review a new safety topic and review any incidents from the previous week.
