Cox Construction Safety Culture

A 24/7 safety culture is the number one priority at Cox Construction Co. Our safety program is second to none as evidenced by our proven safety record and awards received.

Every Cox employee has been given a job specific orientation that sets the tone and expectations we require of our workers. Our employees cannot simply take care of themselves, they must commit to take care of each other, and speak up when necessary to support the safety of all.

Owner Comments:

Cox provided a monthly safety lunch with prizes if there had been no accidents or near misses. Safety infractions noted by QA or District Safety personnel were always minor in nature and corrected immediately. Cox maintained a zero tolerance for alcohol and drug use on or near the job site and ensured that message was conveyed to everyone on site. All of the Site Management Team took an active role in the enforcement of safety.

The EM-385-1-1 safety manual, OSHA 1910 and OSHA 1926 were strictly enforced by the Contractor. There were zero accidents throughout the life of the contract. Contractor's cooperation and responsiveness was outstanding and the job-site was always kept clean. Their professional conduct and timely resolution of the subcontractor's issues and implementation of their safety plan contributed to a safe and very successful project.
