Buildings and Infrastructure Construction

Buildings and civil infrastructure projects — from multi-story structural frames to highway bridges, retaining walls, and public works construction — share a core set of hazards: structural steel erection, concrete formwork and shoring, heavy equipment operations, and excavation. These are all areas where OSHA's Construction standards (29 CFR 1926) are detailed, specific, and actively enforced. A structural steel contractor who doesn't have a site-specific fall protection plan before the first lift, or a concrete subcontractor without an engineered shoring system for a long-span deck, creates both a safety exposure and a significant citation risk.

Greenberg Safety supports GCs and specialty subcontractors through the hazard-dense phases of building and civil construction. We review erection sequences for fall protection opportunities, evaluate formwork designs for shoring compliance, audit the site plan for excavation and crane hazards, and provide embedded safety officers during high-hazard scopes. For public infrastructure projects with owner safety requirements, we help contractors understand what's required and build programs that satisfy both OSHA and owner standards.

Civil infrastructure work — roads, bridges, tunnels, and public utilities — adds traffic control, utility protection, and confined space entry to the construction hazard mix. Texas DOT projects carry safety requirements that exceed base OSHA minimums, and many municipal projects require pre-construction safety submittals. We've worked with contractors on TxDOT and municipal contracts across Central Texas and understand what those submittals need to contain.
