Workplace Safety is Our Number One Priority
As a leading general contractor in Cleveland, Ohio, Tusing Builders and Roofing Services values workplace safety as much as delivering quality products and great customer service. Construction work is high risk, especially jobs that involve climbing up the roof. In fact, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reported that 39.9% of all work-related injuries in 2014 were attributed to falls.
Training
Our skilled team members are important assets. During installation and product training, new team members are immediately educated on the importance of work safety practices. We also provide the resources they need to manage, control, or eliminate workplace hazards. By the time they start on their first installation project, they’d already be knowledgeable on the dos and don’ts of the construction industry. These include knowledge of equipment safety and usage, personal safety, job setup, perimeter warning lines, and rooftop safety monitors.
On the Job
Every remodeling in Cleveland, Ohio, that we undertake requires thorough preparation. We hold pre-job meetings that include checking equipment and making sure everyone adheres to all safety policies we instituted. The use of safety harnesses is especially important, as it is the first line of protection against fall-related injuries. We also have a Safety Coordinator who assists team members with proper practices and making sure the team follows all of the OSHA standards.
Material Safety Data Sheets
Another part of workplace safety training involves familiarity with various types of chemicals used in workplace environment. Some roofing installation work, such as on membranous roofing, requires handling hazardous chemicals. We ensure that all chemicals have proper labels, with appropriate safety warnings and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) made readily available.

Ultimately, our safety practices help lead to a safe, clean, and uneventful installation. We go the extra mile to make sure that we have lasting and trusting relationships with our clients through open communication, honesty, and exceeding customer expectations.
