Resources for Safety Directors

The MICCS Safety Directors Committee (SDC) has developed a series of documents that is an integral part of a plan or guideline to meet the requirements of the new steel erection standards. These documents are only intended to be guidelines or suggestions. Each company should of course use their own judgment regarding their use of all or part of any of these helpful tools.

Instruction to Bidders

The MICCS Substance Abuse Program is a guideline for companies (owners and contractors) to use when developing their own substance abuse program.

MICCS has created recommended contract specifications that provide suggested language so owners and contractors can specify the use of safety practices that have been developed by MICCS and approved by the MICCS Board of Directors.

Click here for a sample toolbox talk. This was recommended for use on "Safety First in Construction Day", during 2004 and is appropriate for use throughout the year. Check back here in early Spring for a new talk for use on 2005's "Safety First in Construction Day", on April 28. In 2005 this also happens to be "National Workers memorial Day."

Job site signs (36" X 24") that encourage personal responsibility for safety can be ordered by contacting the MICCS office and providing your company name, person ordering, shipping address and the number of signs being requested. They cost $15 each and have grommets so they can be easily attached at job sites. MICCS Job Site Sign.

A safety pre-qualification form has been developed to help owners and contractors safety pre-qualify contractors.

Do you have a rescue plan? Every construction company should have a well thought out and detailed rescue program including properly trained individuals. If an accident were to occur, seconds count, and primarily relying on a fire department to rescue someone may not always work if that fire department is not properly trained or is already occupied with another incident. Click on the link below to see if there is a fire department in your area trained in rescue procedures. (TECH Level is the highest level of rescue training. If you need more information on fire departments in your area or project's area, contact information is listed on the spreadsheet.)
