Our Safety Team visited our AtlantiCare Medical Arts Pavilion project site in Atlantic City, NJ. This on-going project features the construction of a three-story, 69,700 square foot patient-centered facility.
During the visit, Senior Safety Manager, Jenn Hall, conducted an inspection of the fall protection equipment as part of the General Building Contractors Association (GBCA) and Mid-Atlantic Construction Safety Council (MACSC) Fall Protection Equipment Inspection initiative. The inspection included 18 harnesses to ensure they were safe to continue using.
In addition, Toolbox Talks were distributed to all subcontractors on fall protection, aerial lifts, preventing head injuries, scaffolds, and ladders.

Riddle Hospital, Master Plan, Media, PA
For our Riddle Hospital Master Plan project, which features over $285 million in demolition, new construction, and internal renovations, our Safety Team held several activities throughout the week.
To thank our subcontractors for working safe, P. Agnes distributed t-shirts, provided soft pretzels, and held a pizza lunch. In addition, safety stand downs were held explaining the focus on preventing falls in the construction industry. Continued good behavior and safe working practices on the project were also noted and recognized during this time.
To wrap up the week at our Riddle Hospital project site, Jenn provided an internal training for the P. Agnes team on how to properly inspect, use, and store fall protection equipment. This education will help our project teams successfully implement and comply with fall protection policies.
Although Construction Safety Week has come to an end, P. Agnes remains committed to safety year-round which is possible thanks to our Safety Team, employees, subcontractors, partners, and clients.
