Why Contractor Safety is Important for an Owner

摘要

Not only must owners be concerned with potential risks to their employees, tenants, or property, but they must also be concerned about the risks that the contractor bears. Safety is a critical item for all construction projects for multiple reasons, including protecting the welfare of employees, providing a safe work environment, and controlling construction costs. However, the importance of safety as a cost-controlling measure is often overlooked by owners and contractors. As a means of reducing the risks associated with construction, safety can significantly impact the overall cost. A dedicated commitment to safety by both the owner and contractor helps ensure project success and can impact the bottom line considerably.
