LARSON-DANIELSON PROPOSAL FOR CMc SERVICES MORRIS PERFORMING ARTS CENTER PARKING GARAGE 17 <br />SAFETY PHILOSOPHY AND PRACTICES <br />Safety is our first priority. It is one of Larson-Danielson’s core <br />values and a responsibility shared by every member of our team. <br />Our “Work Safe, Stay Safe” motto was developed to reinforce a <br />simple idea: safe habits on the jobsite protect our employees <br />both at work and at home. That philosophy is supported by a <br />comprehensive 240-page safety manual, continuous training <br />programs, and oversight from our full-time safety coordinators. <br />Because we routinely self-perform some of the most physically <br />demanding scopes of work, we are constantly evaluating risks <br />and adjusting our safety practices. In 2023, we launched our Next <br />Level Safety initiative to address strain and sprain injuries affecting <br />an aging construction workforce. Company leadership visited job <br />sites to discuss ergonomics, safe work practices, and our firm- <br />wide commitment to protecting every worker. <br />This has already had an effect: <br />• 84% reduction in non-subrogated workers’ <br />compensation claim cost over two years <br />• 35% reduction in recordable incidents in the first year <br />after Next Level Safety adoption <br />KEY SAFETY CONTROLS & RESOURCES <br />• Mandatory Jobsite Safety Analysis (JSA) process; 1,254 <br />JSAs completed in the past year <br />• Two full-time safety coordinators providing jobsite <br />oversight, training, and compliance monitoring <br />• Independent third-party safety and ergonomic evaluations <br />• Cloud-based mobile safety platform used for JSAs, <br />inspections, and trend analysis <br />PROJECT APPLICATION <br />Larson-Danielson will apply this established safety program and <br />oversight structure to the Morris Performing Arts Center Parking <br />Garage project to meet all City of South Bend, state, and federal <br />safety requirements. Because this project will be constructed in <br />a dense downtown environment adjacent to a historic theater <br />and near other active development, careful planning of site <br />logistics will be essential. We will coordinate closely with the City, <br />venue operations, and others to manage deliveries, staging, and <br />work zones. Temporary barriers, clear signage, and controlled <br />pedestrian routes will be implemented to ensure the safety <br />of patrons, downtown visitors, and construction personnel <br />throughout the duration of the project.
