Dick Anderson Construction

Dick Anderson Construction just set a new precedent for safety standards in the construction industry. After a rigorous review by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), DAC is now certified as an OSHA Voluntary Protection Program Star Participant, OSHA’s highest level of recognition. We’re the only General Contractor in the Denver Region of OSHA (MT, SD, ND, CO, UT, WY) to receive this recognition. (Nationally, only one of every 5,000 companies has earned this title.) But it’s not the title or the award that makes us proud. It’s what it took to get here and the level of safety that we continue to uphold at DAC. To get VPP status, OSHA examines four major elements:   — management leadership and employee involvement — worksite analysis — hazard prevention and control — safety and health training DAC excelled in all four elements, and we were recommended for the highest level in the program (Star). Why? 🚧 DAC has demonstrated injury and illness rates 50-60 percent below the industry average. 🚧 Our Recordable Incident Rate (RIR) is four times lower than the Montana average and three times lower than the national average. 🚧 Our Experience Modification Rate (EMR) is 50% lower than the national average. (An EMR is the number insurance companies use to calculate the cost of workers' compensation insurance for a business.) What’s more, OSHA saw that “safety” isn’t just something we talk about. It’s something we do. It’s woven into the fabric of our operations here at DAC. This VPP certification doesn’t change anything; it just confirms that we’re doing it right—not just at a compliance level but above and beyond. In other words, we prioritize safety, period. We want our workers to return home to their families and loved ones at the end of the day. I want to congratulate Skyler Willard CSP, CMSP, our Vice President of Safety, his team, and our entire DAC crew for their commitment to keeping operations safe here at DAC. ____ #safety #compliance #construction #OSHA #constructionindustry

Congratulations to our Great Falls Team on completing the Kiowa Mercantile Revitalization Project at Kiowa Junction. This historic building has been revitalized to serve the local community for years to come. -'Josh DeVos, Vice President of Dick Anderson Construction’s Great Falls Office, was chosen to lead the construction of the mercantile building. A Montana-grown company with strong values and deep ties to Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks, DAC has delivered a quality performance to projects of this caliber in the past, like the historic Sperry Chalet inside the park’s borders. The Kyiyo Mercantile building mirrors the historic Polebridge Mercantile building with an iconic western façade and unmistakable red and white exterior. “It is rare for a project to come in ahead of schedule and under budget,” said Hammerquist. “DAC accomplished both and was always part of the solution.”' To read more about this great project, visit: https://lnkd.in/gQM9bgYq
