Concord, NH – North Branch Construction’s dedication to jobsite safety includes the implementation of a Safety Fine Program on all of its projects. The North Branch Safety Fine Program was developed in 2005 with the intent to increase hazard recognition, reduce risk of injury, and create an overall safer working environment for all personnel working on North Branch construction sites. At a minimum, it requires subcontractors, as well as North Branch’s own employees, to abide by the OSHA Construction Industry Regulations at all times.

When safety violations are observed, it is North Branch’s objective to correct them immediately. Consequently, North Branch warrants safety fines for any repeat violations.

At the end of each year, all proceeds from the Safety Fine Program are donated to the nonprofit charities and organizations that North Branch works with. This year, North Branch gave $1,450 to CATCH Neighborhood Housing, a Concord-based nonprofit organization that creates opportunities for permanently affordable, quality housing for families in Merrimack County.

 North Branch and CATCH are currently working together on the Bow Highlands Phase 2 workforce housing project in Bow, N.H.
