Job Site Inspection

CRM provides jobsite inspection services throughout New England. Each week our office will fax or e-mail a jobsite request list to clients. Whatever sites are requested for inspection will be added to our inspection list for the following week. Clients are invoiced for the actual time on site, with the travel time for the day divided up amongst all of the clients seen that day.

Procedure: Job site inspections are typically unannounced. CRM can block out undesirable times such as job site meetings, etc.

Subcontractors:  Permission is first requested for site access at general contractor trailer/office. We typically establish a rapport with site supervisor/general contractor to address the issue of subcontractor exposure to job site hazards outside of their control. When CRM represents multiple clients on a job site, CRM will inspect subcontractors first and then finish up with the general contractor. Giving the subcontractor the opportunity to correct any hazards that are identified.

Inspection Form

Priorities: CRM's initial focus is on the top four areas where employees are typically injured or killed.

Scoring: Some clients use CRM field inspection reports as a factor during pay reviews. CRM scores each job site. Ideally a 10 is a perfect score, but the client establishes the benchmark at an acceptable level. Scoring Summary

Data Collection: CRM can procure information from field inspection reports and enter it into a database to produce a safety activity chart. (Example) This information can be further mined to produce a rate of compliance chart. This chart will show you what percentage of defiencies noted fall within the top four categories considered most dangerous to your employees.

Data Analysis: The rate of compliance chart is supplemented by the safety activity report. This report identifies which deficiencies were observed where. The top four areas of concern are highlighted in red.

Accident or OSHA Inspection

CRM will respond to an accident or OSHA inspection upon request to CRM's home office. Typical response time is one hour or less (not guaranteed). An extra cost is incurred as the inspector sets aside all scheduled work in order to respond to a client's request

Shop Inspection

In addition to job sites, many clients have maintenance shops, repair shops, production facilities, welding shops, etc. that CRM can inspect as well. Given a week's notice (included on job-site request list), CRM will incorporate shop inspection with other work in the area to help control cost.

Mines, Quarries, and Pits

CRM's staff includes some personnel trained in Mine Safety and Health Association procedures and guidelines. We will tour the facility with supervising personnel and provide a written report of results and recommendations.

Training

OSHA 30 Hour OSHA 10 Hour Competent Person Training Respirator Training MSHA Training

HAZWOPER Training HAZCOM Training Confined Space Training CPR/First Aid Training

In addition to our standard menu of available training seminars, we can also create customized seminars. For example, CRM recently conducted a training session for clients, project managers, estimators, and general foremen. We toured a site together to teach attitudes, what CRM and OSHA look for on a job site, and how their supervision of the safety program is critical to success.

Written Safety Programs

CRM has comprehensive collection of printed materials to complement on and off site training. We work with clients to create written safety policies and procedures, as well as provide more informal training materials such as our "toolbox talks" series. All our materials are available for sale and immediate shipment.

Expert Witness

We have personnel available on request for expert witness testimony in a variety of areas. We don't bite the hand that feeds us; generally we represent a client (general contractor, subcontractor, etc.) who needs testimony to buttress their case. We have worked successfully for a number of law firms.  Please contact Judson Ludeking for further information.

Laboratory Safety Program

CRM is developing a lab safety program for application in schools and universities. We will be expanding these programs to meet the needs of private industry with numerous such entities scattered throughout New England.
