Safety

At Gateway Construction Company, safety is more than a policy — it’s a core value. We are committed to protecting every employee. Our goal is simple: everyone goes home safe, every day.

Our Commitment to Safety

Gateway prioritizes accident prevention through proactive planning, thorough training, and a strong safety culture. We understand the impact workplace injuries can have on our employees, their families, and the project as a whole. Because of this, safety is integrated into every stage of our work — from pre‑task planning through execution.

Training & Qualifications

We ensure our workforce is equipped with the knowledge and skills to perform every task safely and correctly. Our safety training includes:

  • OSHA 10‑hour and 30‑hour certifications

  • Crane Assembly and Disassembly Directors

  • Ongoing job‑specific and task‑specific training

  • Fall protection, rigging, and signaling training

  • Emergency response and first‑aid training

  • Safety orientation for new hires

Planning & Communication

Strong communication is at the center of our safety approach. We encourage every worker to speak up, participate, and take ownership of jobsite safety.

Our standard safety practices include:

  • Daily Task Hazard Analyses (THAs/JHAs) completed before work begins

  • Weekly toolbox talks addressing relevant hazards

  • Site‑specific safety plans tailored to each project and general‑contractor requirements

  • Pre‑task meetings to review procedures, equipment needs, and potential hazards

  • Incident and near‑miss reporting to help us learn and continuously improve

We believe every employee plays a role in maintaining a safe work environment, and we encourage open communication between field employees and all levels of management.

Equipment, Tools & Inspections

Gateway maintains a rigorous inspection and maintenance process for all equipment, tools, rigging, and material‑handling devices. This includes:

  • Routine inspection of rigging gear, in addition to daily inspection before use

  • Immediate removal from service of any damaged or questionable equipment

  • Coordination with general contractors to meet project‑specific PPE, hazard‑control, and safety‑plan requirements

Safety is never left to chance.

Our Safety Culture

Safety at Gateway is built on:

  • Accountability – Every employee is responsible for their own safety and the safety of those around them.

  • Awareness – Recognizing hazards before they become incidents.

  • Engagement – Encouraging workers to participate and contribute to safety improvements.

  • Consistency – Following safe work practices every day, on every project.

Through training, communication, and genuine care for one another, we maintain a zero‑incident mindset across all Gateway jobsites.

Our Goal

To create safe jobsites, prevent injuries, and support a culture where safety is second nature — not just a requirement.
