At Socium Coatings, safety is more than a requirement—it’s a core value. Every project we take on, from large-scale commercial interiors to mission-critical environments, follows a single principle: no task is successful unless it’s performed safely. Our unwavering commitment to meeting—and exceeding—OSHA standards drives how we plan, execute, and deliver every job.
Our Commitment to Safety Compliance
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets the national framework for workplace safety. Compliance with these standards ensures that every worker, client, and partner can operate in an environment where risks are minimized and awareness is prioritized.
For us, compliance isn’t just about checking boxes—it’s about fostering a proactive culture of accountability and care.
Before any work begins, our teams perform a comprehensive site assessment to identify potential hazards, review safety protocols, and coordinate with general contractors. This process includes reviewing site-specific safety plans, ensuring proper PPE use, and conducting toolbox talks that reinforce OSHA’s most relevant standards for each scope of work.
By maintaining clear communication and consistent documentation, we ensure that every project aligns with the latest regulations and best practices.
Recognition for Our Safety Culture
Safety Excellence Award
Our dedication to maintaining exceptional safety standards was recently recognized by Gilbane Construction, one of the nation’s leading general contractors. In their 2025 Trade Contractor Appreciation event, Socium Coatings received the Safety Excellence Award—a distinction that reflects our team’s diligence, preparation, and respect for every individual on site.
This recognition came as part of our work on the Lifetime Fitness project, where precision, coordination, and safety were essential to meeting a fast-paced schedule. Through daily planning and consistent oversight, our field teams maintained an incident-free record—demonstrating that excellence in safety and quality go hand in hand.
How We Maintain Safety Standards
Across every project, our safety program is built on three key pillars:
- Training and Education
Every Socium Coatings team member receives OSHA-compliant training tailored to their role, from field supervisors to craft professionals. We emphasize hazard recognition, emergency preparedness, and job-specific risk prevention. - Active Oversight and Communication
Regular jobsite audits, safety meetings, and coordination with general contractors ensure continuous improvement. We encourage an open-door policy—any team member can raise safety concerns, knowing they’ll be addressed immediately. - Continuous Improvement
Our approach evolves with every project. We review lessons learned and implement new procedures to enhance safety performance. From equipment handling to confined-space protocols, our goal is to anticipate risks before they arise.
Safety as a Standard, Not a Goal
In the coatings industry—where work often takes place in active environments, elevated spaces, or complex facilities—maintaining safety compliance is fundamental to operational excellence.
By embedding OSHA standards into our daily practices, we build more than just safe job sites; we build trust.
Every award, like our recognition from Gilbane Construction, serves as validation that our commitment to safety isn’t situational—it’s cultural. It reflects the shared responsibility of our entire team to look out for one another and deliver every project with integrity, consistency, and care.
Conclusion: Setting the Bar Higher
At Socium Coatings, safety isn’t a department—it’s a mindset. Our systems, leadership, and field practices are all aligned to meet OSHA standards while ensuring every worker returns home safely at the end of the day.
We take pride in knowing that our work not only meets expectations but sets the bar for what safety excellence should look like in the coatings industry.
