Priority #1 — Safety

Our emphasis on employee safety starts with training. New employee orientation begins with a Gethmann specific safety presentation and then 10-hour OSHA. Every GCI employee participates in ongoing training including weekly toolbox training, bi-weekly safety meetings, annual training, and specialty training.

Project Planning

The overall success of a project is directly related to the safety performance of the contractors. At Gethmann Construction, project pre-planning is the first step to ensure the safe execution of work. Proper pre-planning helps to ensure all necessary safety measures are in place and prevents delays throughout the project. Pre-mobilization meetings, safety kick-off meetings, and daily pre-task brief meetings are all utilized as part of GCI's pre-planning process. Additionally, any changes in scope are addressed immediately so proper modifications can be made to adjust the safety plan accordingly.
