re:fab Achieves Diamond on ABC’s STEP Safety Program
When it comes to commercial painting and renovations, safety isn’t just a box to check; it’s the foundation of every successful project. At re:fab, it’s more than a written policy or a set of rules; It’s a culture that guides how we plan, manage, and execute every job, on-site and off.
Built on Training, Not Assumptions
Every re:fab project is led by OSHA-certified project managers who understand how to identify risks before they become problems. This training allows our team to proactively manage jobsite conditions, coordinate safely with our crews and subcontractors and maintain compliance with strict safety standards, especially in sensitive and open to the public environments.
In addition to our project managers, the majority of our field and office staff are OSHA trained. Safety awareness doesn’t stop when a crew leaves the jobsite. From planning and scheduling, to equipment handling and site closeout, it’s built into every phase of our work.
On-Site and Off-Site Safety Matters
A safe jobsite protects more than just our crews. It protects building occupants, staff, visitors and property owners. At re:fab, we focus on:
- Clean, organized and clearly marked work areas
- Proper use of PPE at all times
- Daily jobsite evaluations and check-ins
- Clear communication between field crews, project managers and clients
We believe that a well-managed, safety-focused jobsite leads to smoother timelines, fewer disruptions and better results for everyone involved.
