Safety First

The most important goal of the NCC Expansion project is to maintain the safety of our clients, staff, crew and visitors at all times. The Special Tree project team has done a tremendous job in planning for the issues and needs during the construction.  Some of the key elements of the safety plan include:

• Ongoing communication with the therapy staff on means of egress in case of an emergency. The therapy clinic is the only area of the existing building that is critically affected by the ongoing construction.
• Safety rounds/audits twice a day to assure that the grounds are maintained in the safest manner
• Barriers to keep anyone not part of the construction team out of the construction area
• Signs posted for visitors and staff to not be walking the track or entering the construction area
• Conducting routine risk assessments throughout the project
• Daily communication with the construction team leader to assess the next day’s plans and communicate any concerns to staff to enhance their awareness
• Ongoing communication witht the Romulus Fire Marshall
• Regular assessment of safety needs, evaulation current efforts, and making needed adjustments to our practices
