Playing it Safe
Centennial—North Island joint venture, NICCjv, to hold annual construction site safety fair in June
RESTON, VA—April 26, 2010—NICCjv, a joint venture of Centennial Contractors Enterprises and North Island, is holding a regional safety fair for its employees, subcontractors and other interested contractors on June 10th from 7am – 2:15pm at the Southern Maryland Higher Education Center in California, MD.
The free fair’s sessions will include riffing safety, fall protection, electrical safety, excavation safety, man lift certification and crane safety. The afternoon will include lift demonstrations by United Rentals, scaffolding training by Scaffold Resources, rigging safety by Guardian, electrical safety by SMECO and saw stop.
Safety is the most important part of Centennial and its joint venture partners’ culture. It promotes this "safety culture" through special luncheons and safety fairs for all employees and subcontractors, safety personnel, a safety Web site and safety training, which is required within 30 days of hire for all staff. During the fair, NICCjv will close its job sites so that all employees and subcontractors have the opportunity to attend.
“Most people think they know how to work safely, but these safety fairs are critical to remind and keep them from becoming complacent on the job site,” says Tony Lombardi, corporate safety director at Centennial.
NICCjv performs renovation and repair projects for the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) through a Job Order Contract at the Washington Navy Yard, Bethesda Naval Hospital, Patuxent NAS, MD, NSF Indian Head, MD, NSF Dahlgren, VA and Marine Corps Base Quantico, VA. Recently, NAVFAC recognized NICCjv with its Safety Excellence and Recognition of Outstanding Safety Performance Award.
While the safety fair is free, registration is required by calling Sarah Fitzgerald at 301-342-7072 by June 3rd.
