Greenville, SC — Greenville-based Carolina Safety Consultants (CSC) announces a new service for construction industry clients — single-source recruitment, placement and supervision of jobsite safety personnel. CSC has partnered with the Charlotte-based regional office of Tradesmen International, a well-established construction labor support company, to provide this highly specialized service. A significant percentage of Carolina Safety Consultants’ business comes from general contractors and specialty contractors in the Carolinas, but CSC is positioned to operate outside this region as client needs dictate. In addition to construction, CSC’s client base represents general business and industry, as well as certain types of government entities (e.g., counties and municipalities) and healthcare sectors. Tradesmen, which has a local office in Greenville, has a dedicated safety services core and safety specialists throughout its network of more than 100 locations nationwide.

David J. De Vita, president of Carolina Safety Consultants, elaborated on CSC’s new jobsite staffing service, saying, “Many construction contracts, especially large industrial projects, increasingly require on-site safety professionals to ensure all work is performed in full compliance with the contractor’s established safety policies and OSHA’s requirements for construction. Contractors already outsource a wide range of safety functions to CSC, so adding the hiring and supervision of jobsite safety personnel to our list of services was a logical step. We can quickly provide prequalified safety professionals on a per-project basis, eliminating the contractor’s need to maintain a permanent safety staff. Small and medium-sized contractors in particular often find it reassuring and more cost-effective to let CSC’s experts assume total responsibility for project safety.”

Chris Alentino, Tradesmen International’s district manager for the Carolinas region, stressed the importance of safety in construction, commenting, “Safety is Tradesmen International’s number one core value. All of our field employees have to complete a minimum of OSHA 10-hour training as a condition of hire. By supplying only the best safety minded craftsmen, we are able to surpass safety standards on the job with our clients. We recognize the increased safety requirements on the jobsites across the Carolinas and welcome working with a safety minded company such as Carolina Safety Consultants.”

Carolina Safety Consultants’ De Vita added, “CSC is proud to offer services that have the potential to make a real difference in the operations of the companies and organizations that hire us. One of our most important roles is to identify possible weaknesses in their safety programs — before they encounter a problem.” For more information, visit www.csc-llc.net or call Carolina Safety Consultants at 864.905.7835.
