As we put a long winter behind us and kick off construction season around the country, it’s essential that we address issues related safety on the job. Construction projects that have been delayed are starting. Crews are going to be active and jobs are going to be on tight timelines. This increase in momentum also means there’s going to be an increase in risk.

At Olsen Chain & Cable, we’re committed to making sure every step of your operation is safe. Whether moving materials within your warehouse, equipment to jobsites, or loading products for shipment, you need to know that the equipment and supplies you use to secure your load will do the job safely and efficiently.

There are different factors to consider when seeking to protect your operation and your people. Enacting safety measures are only as effective as your foremen or manager’s willingness to enforce them and your people's willingness to follow them. Beyond the responsibility that lies upon your team, however, is the responsibility your company has to make equipment and operations are doing their part.

OSHA’s standards for rigging equipment and material handling are in place to protect employees, and they require attention from employers, managers, and supervisors on a daily - and even hourly - basis. For those working in industries like ours - those that involve material handling of any sort - these standards can be the difference between life and death.
