OSHA and Clark Construction LLC of Bethesda, Md., are
forming a partnership to foster a safe workplace for employees and to help
contractors develop exemplary safety and health management systems during
construction of the 401 M Street–Waterfront Project in Washington, according to
an agency release.
According to OSHA, major goals of the partnership are to
keep the DART rate below the national average for the commercial construction
industry, and to further reduce this level of recordable injuries annually by
at least four percent for the duration of the partnership.
The project, which includes the construction of
two eight-story buildings and 6,000 feet of open retail space, is part of the
redevelopment of southeast Washington, D.C., near the Anacostia River and the
new ballpark for the Washington Nationals baseball team. The project will
employ approximately 30 contractors and 1,000 tradespersons at peak
construction.
