General construction: commercial contractors & subcontractors

Written safety programs for general contractors, commercial builders, and subcontractors

Commercial and multi-employer job sites bring cranes, steel, confined spaces, heavy equipment, and many trades working at once, and OSHA’s construction standards (29 CFR 1926) cover each one. When an owner, general contractor, insurance carrier, or prequalification platform asks for your written safety programs, send us the list. We build each one, tailored to your company.

Management programs many companies add (tap one to add just that program)

General Safety and Safety Inspections and Audits reflect the accident prevention program and competent-person inspection duties in 29 CFR 1926.20(b), Emergency Action Plan follows 29 CFR 1926.35 where another standard requires one, and Injury and Illness Recordkeeping follows 29 CFR Part 1904 where your company is covered. The others are not tied to a single OSHA standard; owners and general contractors often ask for them on multi-employer sites. This is a starting point, not a requirement list: what you need depends on your work, your state, and what your clients, insurer, or platform ask for.
