Construction

Welcome to Colorado Safety & Compliance (CSC). We partner with General Contractors to strengthen OSHA compliance, manage multi-employer responsibilities, and reduce jobsite risk. Our services include construction safety audits, site-specific safety plans, OSHA documentation review, and subcontractor safety oversight designed to align with active jobsite operations and enforcement realities. CSC provides clear, defensible safety solutions that protect your workforce, your subcontractors, and your company.

Our Approach to Supporting General Contractors

At CSC (Colorado Safety & Compliance), we understand that safety success for General Contractors starts long before the first worker steps onto the site—and continues every day the job is active. That’s why we offer two complementary approaches to safety and OSHA compliance: Pre-Construction Safety Planning and Active Jobsite Support. Whether you need front-end structure, boots-on-the-ground support, or both, we meet you where your project is.

Pre-Construction Safety & Compliance Planning

Strong projects are built on strong planning. Our pre-construction services help GCs reduce risk, establish clear expectations with subcontractors, and prevent compliance issues before they become citations, delays, or injuries.

This approach is ideal for:

Projects in design or bidding phases
GCs onboarding new subcontractors
High-risk scopes (fall protection, excavation, concrete, steel, etc.)
Owners or insurers requiring documented safety programs

Pre-construction support may include:

Site-Specific Safety Plan (SSSP) development
OSHA 1926 written safety policies and manuals
Fall protection, excavation, and hazard-specific plans
Subcontractor safety requirements and enforcement standards
Document readiness reviews (OSHA-required programs, SDS, training records)
Pre-job safety meetings and leadership alignment

The goal: clear expectations, defensible documentation, and fewer surprises once work begins.

Active Jobsite Safety Support

Once the project is underway, CSC provides practical, real-world jobsite support that helps GCs stay compliant without slowing production. We act as an extension of your team—focused on hazard recognition, documentation, and corrective action.

This approach is ideal for:

Active construction sites
GCs managing multiple subs and trades
Projects with owner, insurance, or regulatory oversight
Companies without full-time safety staff

Active jobsite support may include:

OSHA compliance audits and inspections
Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) reviews
Subcontractor safety enforcement assistance
Corrective action tracking and follow-up
Incident investigations and documentation
OSHA inspection support and response preparation

Our presence helps demonstrate good-faith compliance, protect the controlling contractor, and keep safety issues from escalating.

OSHA Multi-Employer Responsibility

On most construction sites, more than one employer can be cited for the same hazard. OSHA evaluates responsibility based on role, not just who created the hazard.

Use the matrix below to understand how responsibilities are typically assigned.

What “Reasonable Care” Means for GCs

OSHA does not require GCs to inspect every tool or micromanage each task—but it does require:

Clear subcontractor safety expectations
Enforceable safety rules
Periodic site inspections
Follow-up on known hazards
Documented corrective actions

Failing to act once a hazard is known (or should have been known) is a common reason GCs are cited.

Employer Roles Explained

Creating Employer – The employer that caused the hazard.
Exposing Employer – The employer whose employees are exposed to the hazard.
Correcting Employer – The employer responsible for fixing the hazard.
Controlling Employer – The employer with general supervisory authority over the site (usually the GC).
