At J.J. McGuire General Contractors, the safety of our workers, as well as safe conditions and practices on our worksites, are of the highest priority and every reasonable precaution shall be taken to provide such an environment.
All supervisors on our sites, whether working directly for or sub contractually to J.J.

All supervisors must ensure their workers are familiar with the actual and potential hazards of the job and have an understanding of the safety standards and regulations that apply to their work.
It is our desire that every person affiliated in any way on our worksites follow our Corporate Health and Safety Policy and Procedures Manual. We welcome any suggestions on how we might improve our safety program. We expect everyone to work together as a team to maintain and improve our safe working environment. At J.J.
