Safety First
Know Safety; No Injury
Safety protects workers from injury and illness, and reduces absenteeism and turnover. It also increases productivity and quality, and raises employee morale. We use a proactive approach with weekly inspections of the job site. During the inspection, current and future hazards are reviewed and a plan for hazard prevention is put into place.

Safety of our team is a top priority. Our team consists of our employees, sub-contractors, owners, owner’s employees and patrons.We have developed a safety system over the last 30 years and have completed major construction projects inside fully functioning Hospitals around the area, without incident.
Our Safety Manager is Ronnie Watson. Ronnie comes to Coastal Structures after serving 29 years as a full-time member of the SC National Guard. He has taken his training to the next level becoming an OSHA 30 instructor as well as a First-Aid Trainer. All of our superintendents and foreman are OSHA 30 certified and receive annual CPR certifications.
Our safety software allows Ronnie to visit all jobsites on a weekly basis and send any positive or negative findings directly to the project managers and superintendents. If corrective actions are not made on site at time of the inception Superintendents/Foremen are given a time frame to make the correction. Once the correction is made the Superintendents/Foremen can update the safety software and a notification of the correction is sent back to Ronnie.
We also have a safety incentive program that pays monthly and annual bonuses to all of our employees.
