Story

Safety Management Group is assisting the owner and construction manager with contractor safety at the Simon Family Tower at Riley Hospital for Children project in downtown Indianapolis.  In 2005, Riley Hospital for Children announced a $500 million, 10-year strategic plan for Indiana's children and families. A critical step in that plan is to build an inpatient facility at Riley Hospital. The 10-story $235 million patient tower will be the first step to allow Riley to meet its goal to be one of the largest and best children's hospitals in the nation. Safety Management Group's role at this project is to facilitate the safety program for contractors participating in the owner-controlled insurance program (OCIP) project.

Working closely with project management and the construction management firm, Safety Management Group associates are assisting contractors in managing safety on the project. Additionally, Safety Management Group associates also provide education and orientation services to contractors performing at the project and serve as advisors to ensure the owner's workplace standards are met or surpassed on the project.
