Construction Site Safety Committee
Committee Members
Chair:
Matthew J Burkart P.E., M.ASCE
Purpose: To
- disseminate the ASCE policy that states improving construction site safety requires the commitment and attention of all parties involved in a construction project, and that safety issues are project specific,
- monitor and review rules and regulations,
- define the various parties' obligations and responsibilities,
- provide input to OSHA, and
- serve as an educational resource to ASCE members.
The Construction Site Safety Committee is involved in a variety of activities. The committee reviews and updates ASCE Policies such as Site Safety Policy 350. An alliance between OSHA and CI is facilitated through the Construction Site Safety Committee. Several potential projects have emerged from this alliance, including the development of a site safety course over the next few years.
