ESTABLISHED SAFETY PROGRAM
At Holder, safety is more than a priority - it’s a core value integrated into every phase of our work. From design to preconstruction, we collaborate with end users and design teams early on to ensure safety measures are embedded from the start. Our commitment to safety extends beyond our projects, aiming to influence the industry as a whole. We strive to create a culture where every person on the jobsite embraces our safety practices and carries them forward. By empowering jobsite leadership, leading by example, and recognizing excellence, we reinforce a proactive safety mindset.
HolderSAFE
Our enthusiasm for health and safety is an extension of our culture and a commitment to protect the wellness of every person we impact. Through trade partner and client collaboration we identify high risk activities early on and incorporate appropriate safety controls.
On-site safety professional training ensures we elevate safety performance and leave a lasting impact on the industry and region. Holder associates are industry leading safety professionals and field supervision who hold professional certifications and designations such as Certified Safety Professionals (CSP), Safety Trained Supervisors – Construction (STS-C), and Construction health and Safety Technicians (CHST). To further this mission, we make safety training accessible and free for everyone on the jobsite. Trainings include energy-based training and STKY (stuff that kills you) training to improve pre-task planning and job hazard analysis. This enhances the capabilities of our workforce but also enriches the broader industry. By fostering this culture, we equip all involved to prioritize safety in every project and beyond.
INNOVATION & TECHNOLOGY
Technology is integrated throughout every project phase to ensure the highest safety standards. Our “scheduling for safety” protocol proactively identifies and plans for high-risk activities using detailed project schedules. This early insight enables our teams to mitigate potential hazards before work begins.
We utilize HammerTech, a comprehensive safety management platform, to streamline communication and documentation across all trade partners. Through this centralized system, teams upload safety documents, submit work permits, complete site orientation, and manage critical materials such as Site-Specific Safety Plans, Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs), and Safety Data Sheets (SDSs). Real-time alerts and notifications keep everyone informed and responsive to evolving site conditions. In addition to HammerTech, we deploy advanced tools like SiteMetric, drone technology, 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM), and climate-controlled stations to further support safe and efficient operations.
OSHA PARTNERSHIPS
Since 2005, Holder has proudly maintained a strategic partnership with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), united by a shared commitment to preventing workplace fatalities, mitigating serious hazards, and fostering a culture of safety across all job sites. Through this collaboration, we welcome OSHA to conduct verification audits at partner locations and actively participate in national safety summits, where industry professionals come together to share best practices and drive continuous improvement. This partnership has made a measurable impact—nearly 40,000 workers, including our valued trade partners, have received comprehensive safety training. We’ve also extended free OSHA 10-hour training to hundreds of students, helping to inspire and prepare the next generation of safety leaders in the industry.
LEADERSHIP COMMITMENT
“Holder Construction is committed to creating a safe and healthy workplace environment. Beyond compliance with current occupational safety, health, and environmental regulations, we maintain a comprehensive program that includes specific practices designed to ensure the care and protection of each of our associates and partners. Health and safety are paramount, and with your help we can create an environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work together.”
