Turner Construction Company Achieves OHSAS 18001 Registration for Safety Program

Turner Construction Company has earned Occupational Health and Safety Advisory Services 18001 registration, which recognizes the development and implementation of a comprehensive safety program that strives to provide and maintain the safest possible work conditions.

OHSAS registration demonstrates Turner's commitment to safety and dedication to the continuous improvement of safety performance. Turner's safety philosophy is trademarked as Building L.I.F.E. (Living Injury Free Everyday). The Building L.I.F.E. approach strives to eliminate all worksite incidents and is supported by four guiding principles:

1. Injuries are preventable
2. Perform a job only if it is safe
3. Working safely is a condition of employment
4. Practice and expect safe behavior everywhere, every day

“Registration with OHSAS 18001 is third-party validation of the success of our safety program. I am proud of the significant achievement of our people, and our partners who supported us and worked diligently to achieve this recognition,” said Cindy DePrater, vice president and corporate director of Environmental Health & Safety at Turner. She continued, “Achieving OHSAS registration is a great indicator of the maturity and advancement of our safety program, and is one of the things that sets us apart in the industry.”
