Safety in the U.S.Construction companies manage a variety of considerations
as they oversee a building's construction, including budget, materials and schedule.
They also must ensure compliance with a wide range of regulatory requirements,
from environmental standards to legal employment practices. One of the most important
concerns a construction company must control is safety. The federal government
considers construction safety a significant concern. In 2006, more than 59% of
all federal inspections performed by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration
(OSHA) nationwide, 22,891 inspections in all, took place in the construction sector.
OSHA conducted an additional 27,672 state inspections at construction jobsites. Over
the past few years, incidents involving vehicles or equipment have been the primary
source of construction workplace injuries in Texas. Fall hazards also account
for a high percentage of the mishaps that take place. Other hazards that result
in jobsite injuries include electrical shock, cave-ins, caught-betweens and falling
objects. Commercial construction companies in Texas must be diligent in controlling
the jobsite environment to ensure the safest possible conditions for their workers. Bob
Moore Construction Company and SafetyBob Moore Construction views jobsite
safety as a moral imperative as well as a legal requirement. Our safety program
is so successful that we have been accepted as a accepted as a member of the OSHA
Local Partnership program, only the fifth general contractors in north and east
Texas to earn this recognition. Because of the stringent requirements needed to
qualify as a Local Partner, contractors who are part of the select group of local

well. The construction company's acceptance as an OSHA Local Partner is
the latest indication that Bob Moore Construction's safety program ranks at the
top for commercial construction companies in Texas. Leadership in Construction
