Construction Safety First Aid Services

The Project

Certainly, the summer of 2015 to the fall of 2016 was a great time for me as safety in construction. Above all, I was the Site Safety and Level 3 First Aid at La Galleria. The Project was a 6 story low-rise condominium project with a 2 story parkade underground. In just over 13 months on this project, I protected the trades in over 155,000 working trade hours.

The Start

Starting just as the shotcrete was finished, I started developing the prime contractors OH&S program from scratch. Implementing a structured system that included a JHSC committee, New and Young Workers / Green Hand Program, Fall Protection Program, as well Hot Work Permits, Exposure Control Plans and dedicated dates for Full Site Safety meetings speaking in front of 200 plus workers. Yes, safety in construction is NOT 9 to 5.

13 Months

In my 13 months on this site, every day at 6 am, I packed out fresh water in 5-gallon buckets for the crew. As the structure neared completion this included a 6 flight of stairs to climb a few times with fresh H2O for my guys. Every floor had a 7-gallon water cooler. Nearing the end, I audited my First Aid records. Injuries only numbered 82 in 13 months and 155,000 trade hours. The most serious being a cut across a worker’s hand. The majority being Ergonomics and a few eye injuries due to some very high gusts of wind peaking at over 80 km some days.

The Profession

As A result of a hard career in masonry, my profession had to change. So, I decided to venture into Occupational Health and Safety. Consequently, it sure has had its ups and downs. Yet I wouldn't change any of it for the world. At the end of the day, I people I have trained, protected, and even disciplined are alive and well. They still get to go home after a shift. Yet this profession of site safety and first aid can sure be wild. Finally, Nobody tody me there be days like these. As a result, I Love The Profession and Occupation in safety.
