At Plank Construction Services, safety is not just a priority—it’s a core part of how we operate. Our team works proactively to identify risks, implement preventative measures, and maintain strict safety protocols on every project. Through our Safety Committee and daily jobsite practices, we foster a culture where every worker is responsible for upholding safety standards, ensuring that all personnel, subcontractors, and jobsite visitors are protected. Safety planning begins before a project even breaks ground, with detailed job hazard analyses and site-specific safety programs designed to minimize risks.
Our commitment to safety extends beyond compliance—it’s about protecting our people and ensuring every project is completed without incident. Our estimating and project management teams work closely with Tim to integrate safety measures from the start, ensuring all jobsite personnel follow best practices. Regular inspections, training sessions, and open communication help us maintain a culture where safety is second nature, reducing risks and keeping projects running smoothly.
