North Branch Construction's project managers and superintendents achieves 100% OSHA certification

In striving to provide unparalleled safety standards in the construction industry, North Branch Construction has gone a step beyond the recommended OSHA 10-hour training and obtained OSHA 30-hour construction training certification for all project managers. Now North Branch's entire team of project managers and superintendents have been OSHA 30-hour certified - an accomplishment few construction management firms can claim. The OSHA 30-hour course's comprehensive curriculum covers all areas of construction safety training from general safety and health provisions to usage of explosives. Topics outlined include hazard identification, avoidance, control, and prevention. The top four hazards according to OSHA - falls, caught-in or between, struck-by, and electrocution - are emphasized during training. Performing as a key player in construction projects, North Branch Project Managers are now more knowledgeable and can develop better ways to pre-plan job site safety with confidence, knowledge, and efficiency while continuing to provide a level of value, quality, and service that is unrivaled in the construction industry.
