This year, seven major new-
construction fires at four- to six-story wood-framed residential sites caused property loss exceeding $400
million, says the National Fire Protection Association.
A combination of proper planning, constant communication of expectations and vigilant enforcement of safety rules resulted in no lost-time accidents and a zero OSHA recordable incident rate on this 15,000-worker-hour project.
Internal pre-project “page turn” and external preconstruction meetings helped the team achieve a stellar safety record on the $14.7-million Fox Valley Hematology and Oncology project.
