Safety

SV Demolition is deeply committed to safety for our employees, clients, subcontractors, stakeholders, and our community. We are the only Bay Area demolition company with a zero incident record, Our EMR rating is .75, which demonstrates that commitment to safety.

We maintain the highest levels of safety because we know from experience that shortcuts lead to “deep cuts.” Lack of safety measures leads to higher expenses, disastrous consequences, missed deadlines, personal injuries, and poor morale.

All of our team members receive regular training and the right personal protective equipment to complete each task safely. We strive to exceed industry and OSHA safety standards at all times. SV Group conducts each project in strict compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations. In addition, we rigorously enforce corporate and site-specific health and safety programs as well as emergency response plans.

  • Job safety analysis to identify, analyze and control potential hazards or risks associated with specific job tasks and equipment operation, and then ensure that all precautions and protective equipment requirements are in place.

It is the basis for compliance with Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 1904 (Ref. 4.1), 1910 (Ref. 4.2), and 1926 (Ref. 4.3).
