Our Commitment
A simple sign greets visitors to every Chapman jobsite: "Hard hats required at all times." This no-exceptions policy is emblematic of Chapman’s uncompromising commitment to safety. What's the result of this safety-first approach? We protect our employees and subcontractors from injuries and our clients from liability claims. And our Worker's Compensation Insurance claim rate, which is among the lowest in the industry, reduces our premiums and saves our clients money.

Clean & Organized
Chapman sites are always notable for their cleanliness, organization, and the extensive use of informative signage. Clean and organized sites are not just safer, they're also more efficient. Chapman's sites are a reflection of the professionalism and safety-consciousness of our field employees, as well as the fact that we hold our subcontractors to this same high standard.

Education & Training
Safety starts with education, which is why all of our personnel are OSHA 30-hour and CPR/First Aid certified. This training is continued by our Safety Officer, Eric Vogelsang, who spends his week visiting Chapman jobsites and helping our  supervisors refine their real-world approach to safety. Chapman also arranges for regular voluntary safety inspections of our sites through the Massachusetts Department of Labor. We’ve found these inspections to be a tremendous tool in furthering our own knowledge of safety, as well as that of subcontractors.

Communication
Safety requires good communication, so our supervisors hold regular Safety & Coordination meetings with our subcontractors. At the beginning of each week, our supervisors gather all of the subcontractors on site to discuss their upcoming work and any related safety concerns. Jobsites are busy places, and they’re safest when everyone knows what everyone else is doing.
