There are currently only 13 Kansas City-area based companies that qualify for BSPP. Nationwide, BSPP is among the very top prestigious partnership programs of its kind, ranking No. 5 of 90.
P1 Vice President Don Campbell says P1 has been a member since 2003.
鈥淭he overall goal of this partnership is to reduce the number of accidents, injuries, and illnesses - with zero fatalities - among participating employers,鈥 Don said.
According to Morgan Morrison, Safety, Health & Environmental Services Office Administrator at The Builders' Association, the partnership was born out of mutual recognition of the importance safety in construction workplaces.
鈥淭he Builders' Association and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the United States Department of Labor (OSHA), understand the magnitude of promoting a safe and healthful work environment in the construction industry,鈥 Morgan said.
The criteria to belong are stringent, including providing annual written safety and health programs, training records, and injury/illness records, no willful or repeat violations, and other specific requirements as laid out by the partnership steering committee.
Congratulations to P1 and all our associates for demonstrating a commitment to Safety First鈥uality Always.
