Our Process
Safety is a top priority for every project. Every technician completes a pre-job hazard assessment along with a silica risk assessment of their assigned task. Our technicians are empowered and trained to evaluate the safety needs and risk level of every project. Our monthly safety trainings and 10 Hour OSHA safety trainings equip our techs and managers with the dangers of our work specifically. All safety trainings and manuals are available electronically to our field teams at all times. We are proud of our safety record, and our first priority is to make sure we do not put your safety, our safety, or the safety of your teams at risk.
Innovation is injected into every aspect of Ohio Concrete’s process. From workflow to equipment, we look for every option to improve our delivery. OCSD custom builds each work truck to complete a wide range of tasks with efficiency. Our trucks are second to none in their ability to deliver wide-ranging capabilities while making sure the technician is able to execute efficiently and safely. Having a quality vehicle is important, but having great equipment is even more important for safety and reliable work product delivery. We have recently made large investments in lighter, safer high-cycle cutting equipment that will increase our output and streamline our workflow.
As one of the largest cutting and drilling companies in the Midwest, we are able to utilize our resources to take on the largest jobs around-the-clock. These shutdown-style projects require immense amounts of talent and equipment, which we provide in spades.
