AWARD-WINNING SAFETY CULTURE

Builders
has
just
accomplished the extraordinary
by earning the SHARP Award
from Cal-OSHA. The SHARP (Safety and
Health Achievement Recognition Program)
Award honors high-hazard employers for
their excellence in safety practices. Currently,
DesCor is the only general contractor in
Northern California approved and listed as
a SHARP participant. DesCor’s recognized
project is The Pique, a 327-unit apartment
complex under construction in Folsom.
Founded in 2005, DesCor provides full-
service preconstruction, general contracting,
and construction management services
throughout Northern California. This licensed
general contractor provides sophisticated
services at a competitive cost, and has
a robust culture of safety. Backed by this
philosophy, Robert Harding, regional safety
manager, initiated pursuit of the SHARP
Award in April 2018.
“Many general contractors won’t pursue the
SHARP Award because it takes a considerable
amount of effort and coordination,” notes
Harding. “All of our subcontractors have
to commit to this, and agree to in-depth
analysis by Cal-OSHA. I work with all our
subs to assess their entire safety programs
and help them become compliant. For those
without a safety director, we take that role
for them, helping them elevate their safety
culture and training.”
DesCor delivers its building strategy on a
foundation of safety. “Safety is our established
policy before we break ground on any project,”
says Jeff Deming, senior superintendent.
“Large corporate clients have had third-
party consultants and safety management
companies review our program, and we
always meet or exceed their requirements.
Pursuing the SHARP Award is putting our
program to the test in the field.”
With the commitment of time, effort, and
strong partnerships with subcontractors
required to earn the SHARP Award, it’s clear
that DesCor takes a true team approach
and that safety is always a primary concern.
“We really do care about people – our
team, those working on our projects, and
our clients,” concludes Neal Cordeiro, vice
president and CFO.
“
THE PIQUE AT IRON POINT
We are committed
to people first, so
we make safety our
No. 1 priority, and
receiving the SHARP
Award exemplifies
that commitment.
