Service Highlights

MRC’s experts develop targeted Construction Safety 360 solutions to meet our clients’ safety needs, which can be applied on a customized basis to contractors and construction companies of any size.

Our team collaborates with clients to develop solutions and strategies, which allows for seamless and successful execution. This means fewer operational disruptions and increased employee engagement. Construction Safety 360 includes a casualty risk analysis and an employee perception survey.

The casualty risk analysis evaluates the existence and effectiveness of the essential components of an organization’s construction safety programs. It is a thorough evaluation of safety programs and processes.

The other critical aspect of Construction Safety 360 is the employee perception survey. This survey captures candid feedback through anonymous dialogue with managers, field supervisors, and front-line workers, as their perspectives are the litmus test of safety program effectiveness.
