Future First

Building a Safer Tomorrow

At Frampton, family is at the root of everything we do. We’re a family-owned company, and we care deeply about our people and their loved ones. That’s why we’ve made a pledge to ensure everyone who sets foot on a jobsite, from team members to trade partners to visitors, returns home safely to their families every single day.

Forged from experience accrued across 28 years and hundreds of safely executed projects, our Future First safety program is designed to prevent workplace incidents, injuries, and illnesses. Our goal: zero incidents, zero accidents.

By making commitments today, we’re building a safer tomorrow.

Future First, A Safer Tomorrow

A Culture Of Safety

At Frampton Construction, safety is not optional. We’ve created a strong culture of safety in our offices and on our jobsites through practices like toolbox talks, safety stand-downs, and safety recognition luncheons. Most of all, our team members do not look the other way. Every employee, regardless of position or tenure, is empowered to stop work until a safety issue is resolved.

Training Standards

Frampton’s field personnel are certified in First Aid, CPR and 30-hour OSHA training. Additionally, all of our superintendents are Procore Safety Qualified and have completed Fall Protection Awareness Training. Beyond these standards, our team members regularly participate in additional training to prepare for project-specific challenges.

Toolbox Safety Talks

Safety starts with communication. Every Tuesday, work on all of our jobsites begins with a toolbox safety talk. This is a time when our team discusses a fundamental element of workplace safety and covers the tasks and challenges ahead for that week.

Experience Modification Rate (EMR)

EMR is a construction safety metric used by the insurance industry to measure workers compensation risk. Anything lower than the industry average of 1.0 is considered exceptional. At Frampton, we’re proud to consistently maintain an EMR well below the national average and in the industry superior range.

A Proactive Approach

We're staying one step ahead by identifying potential risks before they become a problem.

Custom Safety Measures

Every job has its own unique set of challenges. Practices like site-specific safety training, pre-task analysis, and Procore trend tracking help our team anticipate and avoid hazards.

AHA CPR Training

Construction industry workers are disproportionately affected by major risk factors for heart disease and stroke, so we’ve partnered with the American Heart Association to offer CPR training to our team members.

OSHA VPP Participant

We participate in OSHAs Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP), which promotes effective worksite-based safety and health through rigorous inspections of our jobsites.

Safety Audits

We’ve invited our insurance provider to carry out quarterly safety audits. These help us stay ahead of the game in reducing risk.

Josh Schlechty

Vice President, Operations

What does safety mean to you?

“Starting my career in the field gave me a deep respect for tradespeople, their skills, and the risks they face daily. Now, as an executive in a high-risk industry, I feel a strong responsibility to emphasize safety to our project leaders, as my actions and leadership are crucial in ensuring every team member goes home safely to their loved ones each day."

How do you walk the walk when it comes to job site safety?

“Lead by example—safety always comes first. I use proper PPE when visiting projects and model the behavior I expect. I address unsafe actions as teachable moments rather than disciplinary ones to create lasting impacts on individuals and the team’s safety culture.”

What's your top safety goal in 2025?

"Spend more time with teams and trade partners to enhance safety culture. I want to recognize and celebrate positive safety acts to empower all partners to prioritize safe behavior and speak up."

Daniel Woods

Superintendent

What does safety mean to you?

"Safety to me is going home to loved ones to share in the prosperity we work so hard for."

How do you walk the walk when it comes to job site safety?

"PPE, the first thing people look at is how you present yourself. If you’re in the required PPE that you ask all others to wear, it projects the message that you’re holding yourself to the same standards you are everyone else."

What's your top safety goal in 2025?

"My top safety goal for 2025 is to have an incident-free project!"

Keith Horton

Project Director

What does safety mean to you?

“Safety means that we do everything in our power to ensure everyone on our projects goes home safely to their families at the end of each day.”

How do you walk the walk when it comes to job site safety?

“At Frampton we prioritize a culture of job site safety by encouraging open communication, empowering workers to recognize and stop safety issues, and rewarding safe behavior.”

What's your top safety goal in 2025?

“My top safety goal of 2025 is to have zero safety incidents or accidents and have all of our workers go home safely to their families.”

"In our industry, it’s imperative to look at everything through a lens of safety. Safety is something we will never take for granted and never sacrifice."
