Highlands Ranch – Jobsite safety is integral part of Shea Homes’ commitment to quality and integrity, and the Colorado homebuilder is thrilled to have maintained its Master Builder status level of the Homesafe® Colorado Partnership for a second year. In 2015, the Home Builders Association (HBA) of Metro Denver in partnership with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) awarded Shea Homes the highest honor bestowed under the HomeSafe® Colorado Partnership granting the homebuilder Level 3 Master Builder status through 2016. After a comprehensive annual verification audit, it was determined that Shea has maintained the Master Builder status level of the Homesafe® Colorado Partnership through 2017.
In pursuit of achieving and maintaining this annually awarded status, Shea Homes’ employees attended the HomeSafe® Colorado Safety Orientation Training Program, HomeSafe® Colorado Field Focus Four Training Program, and the OSHA Construction Safety Course. In addition, the HBA’s Jobsite Committee conducted a jobsite audit and OSHA performed a non-enforcement verification inspection. The aforementioned training laid the groundwork for creating and positively reinforcing a culture of safety on Shea jobsites.
Shea Homes strives to be a leader in all facets of the homebuilding industry including jobsite safety. “Maintaining this status is a significant accomplishment for Shea underscoring our commitment to embrace what we strive for day after day - a ‘Nobody gets hurt today’ mindset.” said Jeff Palumbo, Safety and Environmental Manager, Shea Homes.
