Our Safety Program

Biscayne utilizes the US Army Corps of Engineers Site Safety Plan format (EM-385) as a basis for all Site Specific Safety Plans. The criteria and requirements of the Corp of Engineers Safety Program are more stringent and comprehensive than OSHA requirements. The guidelines, procedures and in particular, the Activity Hazard Analysis,
provide a broad, all-encompassing approach that is focused on preventative measures geared toward deterring safety incidents and avoiding accidents.

 
Corporate Safety Policy
Biscayne’s Corporate Policy on safety is that there is no company priority higher than safety. As evidence of the importance of safety within Biscayne’s corporate culture, the company employs a full time safety staff and retains the services of two independent safety consultants.

 
Safety Training
Safety Training is provided for all Biscayne field and office based Project Management Personnel on a regular basis to maintain current certification. It should be noted that all Site Superintendents require a minimum of Level 2 Certification which mandates at least OSHA 30 hour Training and Certification plus 24-hours annual recertification.
