We know a safe construction environment protects our workforce, the homeowner, and the project. Our safety program results in:

• Protection of our workforce
• A higher motivated and productive work force
• Best quality workmanship
• Cost-effective projects
• Better business results
  Pacific Style Construction implements its comprehensive safety manual and issues all safety gear and equipment to its workforce. Our philosophy on safety is that although a good safety program may cost quite a bit, its return is priceless if employees can be in a safe working environment.
Safety is a great concern for Pacific Style Construction. We have weekly staff safety meetings where we discuss relevant safety issues and have training in all aspects of the construction industry.
Employee Safety Rules
Safety is our highest priority. It is employee participation which makes it a success. The following safety rules have been implemented for the employee's interest. Failure to comply results in adverse action.
1. Head Protection
Any employee working in areas where there is a possible danger to head injury from impact, falling or flying objects, or electrical shock and burns, shall wear protective hard hats.

Employees are required to wear their hard hats at all times during construction, except during those times of finish carpentry when drywall is hung and the employee is working inside the house. Any work performed on the exterior requires the use of hard hats.
This means the employee must wear a hard hat when:

1.1 On ladders or scaffolds,
1.2 Framing stages of building (i.e., from the start of project),
1.3 Working on the job when workers are above you—that is if you are working inside a rough framed house and roofers are above you,
1.4 Working on the roof.

2. Face Protection
All employees shall were safety glasses that are impact resistant & UVA protected at all times as followed by Head Protection.

3. Fall Protection
All workers are required the use of fall protection equipment when scaffolding or ladders are ten (10) feet or higher. Our fall protection equipment is based upon three things: a full body harness, a lanyard and an anchor point to which the lanyard is connected. Only one person per anchor point is permitted.

4. Electrical
     4.1 Occupational Safety and Health Administration, OSHA approved electrical cords must            be used at all times.
     4.2 The yellow GFI three-pronged outlet must be directly connected to the power source
           ,i.e.,temporary electrical pole or generator.
     4.3 Electrical cords must be connected to a GFI outlet from any exterior, kitchen, or            bathroom outlet when working in the house after drywall is hung and permanent power            is activated.
     4.4 No frayed or damaged cords are permitted.

     4.5 The use of electrical tape is not permitted for a quick fix.
     4.6 Cords must be rolled up neatly when not in use.
     4.7 The three-pronged GFI extension outlet is not necessary on temporary utility poles as we have
           the temporary poles equipped with GFI outlets. GFI extension outlets must be used with generators.

5. Generator
Must be turned off when pouring gasoline into machinery.

6. Respiration

6.1. No cutting of treated lumber inside an enclosed house.
6.2. Respirators will be worn if you are present during a termite treatment by the termite company.
6.3. Dust masks shall be worn when cutting lumber in confined spaces.
7. Smoking

8.1 Work boots except on finished floors
8.2 Proper work Pants
8.3 T-shirts
