Safety Regulations

At Ruiz Construction, we don't just build structures; we build trust. Safety forms the foundation of everything we do. Our unwavering commitment to a secure jobsite means every team member – from the ground up – works within the parameters of strict safety regulations designed to protect them, our clients, and our community.

Jobsite Safety Inspections

Our daily on-site safety checks, conducted by the site foremen and a dedicated company safety officer, ensure that every Ruiz Construction jobsite conforms to our rigorous safety program. Employees are held accountable for maintaining proper work practices and regularly using Personal Protection Equipment (PPE).

Weekly Toolbox Talks

Safety is a collective effort. That's why our foremen and owners conduct weekly safety discussions, fostering an environment where every team member is alert and proactive about on-the-job safety. Reflecting on recent safety topics and incidents keeps our team sharp, vigilant, and prepared.
