Safety

Our first priority in every project we work on is safety—for our customers and our employees. By nature roofing is a dangerous trade and we take each aspect of our work very seriously. We demand safe workers and provide them with the training and equipment necessary to keep our jobsites safe at all times for everyone.

An effective safety policy begins with a firm Safety Program. Metal Works of Chicago has developed the most comprehensive and complete written safety policy in our industry. This program has been developed in cooperation with OSHA and our local OSHA field offices to outline all aspects of safety relevant to our operations.

Training

Each of our installers, technicians, crane operators, drivers and support team members has completed at a minimum the OSHA 10-Hour Safety Course Certification. Moreover, each of our Foremen, First Men, Superintendents, company officers and Project Managers has completed the OSHA 30-Hour Certification—the most complete training OSHA provides. Each year we host two company-wide Safety meetings to refresh our employees on our policies, inform them of new programs being implemented, and provide training on specific field equipment. Local OSHA inspectors and officials attend each meeting.
