Protect the team.
Safety has been a core value at Landmark since 1965. Our goal is ZERO incidents, injuries, or illnesses.
Our commitment
It’s not about the numbers. It’s about the people.
Landmark Construction’s dedication to safety has been a core value of our company since 1965 and reflects the fundamental respect we have for our employees, equipment, clients, the public, and the environment. We aim to meet and exceed the industry standards for health and safety and maintain our corporate goal of ZERO incidents, injuries, or illnesses. This goal will be achieved by management commitment, employee involvement, workplace hazard analysis, hazard prevention and control, behavior-based safety and health training, and by providing a discrimination-free place of employment where employees are free to express safety concerns without fear of retaliation. Our industry-leading EMR is a testament to our commitment to maintaining the highest safety standards.
Our objective is a safety and health program that sees beyond quantifiable data because, at the end of the day, it’s not about the numbers. It’s about the people. It’s about the husbands, the wives, the children, and family at home that rely on our employees every day for security, care, and love. As the employer, it is our duty and responsibility to provide our employees with all possible means of protection to ensure their continuing safety and well-being. It is not only our responsibility; it is our privilege.

HCSS Safety Management puts every form, inspection and talk on an iPad, and Power BI keeps reporting at our fingertips.
With the implementation of HCSS’s Safety Management Software, we have put safety in the hands of our employees and nearly eliminated the paper draw. Our field employees can:
- Create Job Hazard Analyses (JHA)
- Conduct toolbox safety talks
- Document safety observations
- Record incident reports and near misses
- Conduct and record job site inspections
- Fill out daily equipment inspection checklists that notify our in-house mechanics when there’s a deficiency
- Document and store training records
- Access fillable electronic forms such as confined space permits, excavation safety checklists, concrete pour cards, and many others
The Manager System lets Landmark management monitor what’s happening in the field in real time: track employee involvement, identify leading indicators, see trends, acknowledge safety excellence through a rewards system, and design training around what is actually needed versus just regulatory compliance.
Training & development
- OSHA 10 for Construction or Basic Orientation Plus (BOP) for all employees.
- OSHA 30 for Construction for all supervisors.
- Annual refresher training on high-risk tasks and crucial Landmark policies and procedures.
- Task-specific training sessions conducted throughout the year.
