Safety & Quality

Safety is a
team effort.

Every person on our crews goes home the way they arrived - every day. Our employees are sons and daughters, mothers and fathers, husbands and wives. We carry the responsibility to get every one of them home safe, every single day.

The Way We Operate

That responsibility doesn't sit with a safety officer. Accident prevention belongs to every person on the deck - from the foreman to the newest apprentice.

It's how we operate on every job.

Built Into The Day

Safety isn't a binder
in the trailer.

We take a top-down approach: site leaders own it, and every worker on the deck is trained, equipped, and expected to work to standard. It isn't a document that sits in the trailer - it's how the day is structured, on every project, as standard practice.

Daily job-safety huddles Every crew starts the morning aligned on the day's hazards and sequence.
Weekly toolbox talks Focused, hands-on reviews of the risks specific to the current phase.
Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs) Tasks broken down and de-risked before anyone leaves the ground.
Site-Specific Safety Plans A plan written for this site's conditions - not a stock document.
Site-Specific Erection Plans Rigging, sequence, and access mapped to how the steel actually goes up.
Internal safety audits Our own leaders check the deck against standard, continuously.
Monthly third-party safety audits An outside set of eyes verifies the field, every month.
Trained & certified crews Every worker on the deck is trained, equipped, and expected to work to standard.

Trained Crews, Credentialed Foremen

Safety knowledge
lives in the crew.

Our foremen carry the credentials that keep a steel job safe. And it isn't a certification that lives with one person on site - it's the baseline for the crew.

10&30
All field personnel carry OSHA 10; most foremen hold OSHA 30.
Most
Regular journeymen hold most of these same credentials.
Foreman Credentials
  • Competent-person signal & rigging
  • Welding certification
  • OSHA Subpart R steel erection
  • Inspection training
  • Fall protection
  • Material handling
  • Aerial lift certification
  • Telehandler certification

Quality

Quality is planned,
checked, and owned.

The same discipline that keeps our crews safe governs how the steel goes up. Quality on a DePasquale job rests on four things: an audited system, a person accountable for it, a plan built for your project, and the standard of getting it right the first time.

AISC certification

An independently audited quality system, not a logo.

In-house quality manager

Ownership with a name attached to how work gets checked.

Site-specific planning

A quality plan built for your job - never pulled from a template.

Right the first time

Steel installed to standard, so there's no rework or callback.

AISC CERTIFICATION
AISC-Certified Erector

That certification isn't a logo - it's an independently audited quality system that governs how we detail, submit, and install every piece of steel. It's the reason the work meets standard the first time.

MD
ON THE TEAM, NOT ON PAPER
Mario DePasquale
In-House Quality Manager

Quality is owned by Mario. It's his name on how the work gets checked - and it's checked before it's called done.

Site-Specific Quality Plans

Nothing about your
job is improvised.

Every project gets its own quality plan, built for that job's steel, sequence, and connections. Paired with the site-specific safety and erection plans, it means how we run your job is decided on purpose - start to finish.

  1. 01
    Plan the job

    A quality plan built for that job's steel, sequence, and connections - not pulled from a template.

  2. 02
    Train & align the crew

    Every worker briefed on the plan and the standard before the first pick.

  3. 03
    Execute to standard

    Steel detailed, submitted, and set the way the plan calls for it.

  4. 04
    Audit & verify

    Work checked against standard and signed off before it's called done.

Safe, And Right The First Time

Steel that goes up safe and goes up right - the first time.

That's what AISC certification, a dedicated quality manager, and a fully trained crew are for.
