A Wrap Up offers one standardized safety program for the project
to which all parties adhere, rather than many individual versions
per contractor. Loss Control Services are available under
the OCIP/CCIP through various service providers including
the owner, the contractor, the insurance carrier, the broker
the program administrator, or through a third party vendor
that specializes in providing loss control services for the
construction industry. A single safety program must have a
coordinating entity to monitor loss control vendors. Often,
one or two safety individuals are dedicated to objectively
oversee and coordinate the safety program for the project.
This means having a system in place to continuously monitor
project performance and take rapid steps to target and correct
safety issues.
What does a site safety program typically entail?
• Dedicated safety personnel visiting periodically from
your loss control vendors – one from your broker and
one from your insurance carrier
• A full time site safety person provided by the general
contractor who coordinates the entire safety program while
monitoring the site and the loss control vendors
• Your insurance carrier will set additional safety
requirements beyond those required by OSHA (e.g. for every
50 people on the site, one employee is dedicated part time
to site safety as part of their full time job description)
• Incentives (like lunches and t-shirts) for accident
free work zones motivate everyone on the project from the
top down
