As an owner of a roofing/remodeling business (Blue Glass, LLC), I want three things daily for our team.
I want them to go home safely every day.
I want our clients to receive excellent work.
I want our team to enjoy, and be proud of the work they do.
Realistic, practical safety training is the guide that keeps us on this path.

Daily Jobsite Specific Checklist
Educate. Evaluate. Evolve. After fine tuning our daily safety check list via Google Sheets and mobile phones on the jobsite for more than a year, we re-evolved to the brochure format shown below. This allows our crews to use a good old fashioned pencil and quickly move through each section. It also now has a section for Client/Foreman interaction. This section allows us to clearly communicate the need for safety on each jobsite with our clients as well as the expectations for the day. Our clients and crews love it and we hope it helps you as well.
