ON-SITE SAFETY SERVICES

SAFETY STAFFING

NextWave Safety is the premier safety consultant company in New York City. Our Site Safety Division is staffed with licensed site safety managers and coordinators. We assign these onsite 3rd-party safety professionals to major construction sites to oversee and promote safety procedures and to comply with NYC Department of Buildings requirements. With site safety managers and coordinators onsite, contractors and developers help to:

  • Provide for a safe working environment for workers and the public
  • Reduce injuries and fatalities on the job
  • Reduce the likelihood of incurring DOB, OSHA, and other fines
  • Reduce costly GL and worker’s compensation premiums and payouts
  • Improve safety and increase profitability
  • Enhance worker productivity
  • Develop a construction safety plan

We staff licensed site safety managers, coordinators, concrete safety managers, and construction fire safety managers, as well as unlicensed qualified safety professionals on major sites and projects. These onsite managers conduct safety audits and inspections, as well as develop and file site safety plans, health safety plans, and other compliance-related plans.

ADDITIONAL SERVICES INCLUDE:

SAFETY INSPECTIONS AND AUDITS

Offices, retail stores, and other businesses all have occupational risks. It’s important to conduct routine risk mitigation checks to ensure safety. These inspections may be required by the state, or by your insurance company. Even if routine inspections aren’t mandated, they are crucial for putting safety at the forefront.

Safety and health compliance audits and inspections are cost-effective tools for a construction manager. In such an audit, our experienced site safety professionals are trained to ascertain compliance issues, inspect your construction site, and recommend corrective action as necessary.

Varying by your needs and the size of your job, the typical safety audit includes a site inspection followed by a written report. The audit report includes digital photographs itemizing the would-be citations and their respective safety code references. The referenced codes include city, state, and federal OSHA regulations.

The report also includes items that can be used as benchmarking data for your company.

COMPREHENSIVE INCIDENT/ ACCIDENT INVESTIGATIONS

Timely incident investigations are crucial to reduce lag time after an incident and ensure facts are collected, in turn, reducing claims costs.
