North Branch Construction donates safety fine proceeds to charity

North Branch Construction's dedication to jobsite safety includes the implementation of a Safety Fine Program on all of their projects. The North Branch Safety Fine Program was developed in 2005 with the intent to increase hazard recognition, reduce risk of injury, and create an overall safer working environment for all personnel working on North Branch construction sites. It requires subcontractors as well as North Branch's own employees to abide by the OSHA Construction Industry Regulations at all times. When safety violations are observed, it is North Branch's objective to correct them immediately. Consequently, North Branch warrants safety fines for any repeat violations. At the end of each year, North Branch donates all proceeds from the Safety Fine Program to the non-profit charities and organizations that they work with. This year, North Branch gave $3,525 to Community Bridges - a Concord-based non-profit agency serving disabled individuals in need and their families in local communities. North Branch and Community Bridges are currently working together on the START respite house in Boscawen, NH. North Branch Construction continues to raise the bar for construction jobsite safety in addition to the Safety Fine Program by performing random jobsite inspections and obtaining OSHA 30-Hour Certification for all of their Project Managers and Project Superintendents (an accomplishment few construction management firms can claim).
