Precision Environmental & ProCut Raising the Bar in Demolition Safety
Nick Fox, Laborers' Health & Safety Fund
Demolition work is some of the most potentially hazardous work LIUNA members perform. On top of all the usual construction hazards like falls, silica dust and buried utilities, demolition work also brings the potential for building collapses and exposure to asbestos, lead, mold and other hazardous substances on site.
To find out how an experienced contractor protects the safety and health of workers from the serious hazards on demolition projects, we sat down with Precision Environmental & ProCut, a LIUNA signatory contractor based in Cleveland, Ohio. The company is involved almost exclusively in demolition and abatement work and typically employs about 150 Laborers at any given time depending on how many projects are underway.
“They work hand in glove with us to keep our Laborers safe,” said Terry Joyce, Business Manager of LIUNA Local 310 in Cleveland, Ohio. “I can’t say enough about the great partnership we have with Precision.”
