ANNOUNCEMENT: 

In an effort to further address urgent safety and health problems facing Americans in the workplace, OSHA is implementing a new Severe Violator Enforcement Program (SVEP) and increasing civil penalty amounts. This new program is intended to focus OSHA enforcement resources on employers who endanger workers by demonstrating indifference to their responsibilities under the law. This additional enforcement tool includes increased OSHA inspections in these worksites, including mandatory OSHA follow-up inspections, and inspections of other worksites of the same employer where similar hazards and deficiencies may be present. For more information, visit:  osha.gov/dep/svep-directive.pdf.

Mission: To work together as a team for the express purpose of identifying
hazards in the drilled shaft, anchored earth retention, and Micropile workplace
before accidents occur, and then minimize our employees’ risk by changing
exposure to the hazards by educating (increasing awareness), administering
(creating rules), or by engineering (re-configuring) the hazards out of the
workplace.

The mission is achieved through regular committee meetings, training
sessions, magazine articles, and written manuals to ensure that safety
is in the forefront of everyone’s mind. The Safety Committee shall
review and update this information to ensure state-of-the-art
information is available to our members, to place the highest value on
the welfare of the individual, to instill a sense of ownership and to
embrace excellence in all aspects of safety performance.
Goals: Assemble, evaluate and disseminate safety related information
from the construction industry and OSHA, to our fellow ADSC
members. Our goals are simple: (1) to create added value for
our members through best-in-class performance in environment,
safety and health and (2) respond in an appropriate manner to
proposed safety standards or regulations which may affect our
industry. We pledge to place the safety and well-being of our
employees first, and to embody honesty and integrity in the
pursuit of our mission.
