]]> Swift progress is afoot at the Dassault Falcon jobsite on the Reno Tahoe International Airport grounds. The 10,978 sf, two-story addition – designed by Dave Eckes and overseen on-site by Pete Brunner – will feature parts storage, locker rooms, records storage and a second-floor training/event room, avionics work room, engineering, conference room and quality assurance department.

Site workers have poured the concrete for the stairs, installed girders, closed all big footings and are getting closer to finishing the siding of the expansion. Elite Safety is doing regular safety inspections, and the site continually gets a clean bill of health.

Dassault Falcon employees expressed much excitement to the United Construction team over the progress of the addition. Dassault looks forward to having extra space for comfortable storage, changing areas and meeting rooms.

Project completion is currently scheduled for the end of June.

]]> The first full week in May of each year marks North American Occupational Safety and Health (NAOSH) Week, which launched in 1997 from an agreement between the USA, Canada and Mexico. According to naosh.org, the goal of this commemorative event “is to focus employers, employees, partners and the public on the importance of preventing injury and illness in the workplace, at home, and in the community.”

United Construction has a safety-focused culture and sets a precedence for safety in the workplace, with a commitment to zero accidents and zero injuries. From on-site logistics and training to expert advisement from our partner Elite Safety, we take this seriously, and that includes protecting the health of our team. We are especially proud – not just this special week but every week – to have the support of our safety partner to help us excel in our high safety standards for our projects.

If we could pin one incident as a major test of our immense dedication to preventing injury and illness at work, it would be the COVID-19 pandemic. With strict precautions to keep everyone healthy – including mask mandates, social distancing, high cleanliness standards and fostering a culture of care where our staff members are encouraged to take sick time to care for ourselves – we will always keep the health and safety of our United team and partners at the forefront of what we do day in and day out.

How do you commit to occupational safety and health in your work?
