Safety

It is the policy of IHC Construction Companies to provide and maintain a safe and healthy working environment for all employees, and that a condition of safety consistent with applicable federal, state, and local safety codes is maintained on all IHC projects and worksites.

All contractors and subcontractors are also expected to comply with all federal, state, and local regulations and are monitored throughout the project for conformance. Contractors and subcontractors are not allowed on site without a current certificate of insurance that has terms and limits that are satisfactory to the owner. Also, contractors and subcontractors are required to have their own company’s safety program on site and in force at all times.

IHC is a firm believer that safety is important on every project and performs accordingly. A respectable Experience Modification Rate (EMR), as shown below, confirms our commitment to the safety of all employees.
