It is the policy of A.R. Chesson Construction Co., Inc. to provide a safe working environment for all of its employees and subcontractors. This can and will be accomplished by employee involvement, proper management and training, and providing current safety manuals with up-to-date information. Every employee should make it a goal to perform each task in the safest manner possible and to report every unsafe action or condition to their superintendent as soon as possible.  A.R. Chesson Construction Co., Inc. will have monthly safety meetings and updates, scheduled appropriately. Each field superintendent is expected to pass any safety information and/or updates to all field employees and subcontractors working on their project. Each superintendent is expected and required to have a “toolbox” safety meeting once a week on their project site. By working together, we can eliminate accidents and have a safe, productive, and professional workplace.
