Safety at Portland Glass

Protecting People, Projects, and Property on Every Jobsite

Safety is integral to how we plan and perform commercial glazing work. We operate in active environments where coordination and disciplined procedures are essential to protecting our employees, project partners, building occupants, and the public throughout every phase.

Proactive safety planning for is standard on every site. We review each project to identify risks and establish controls based on conditions, scope, and GC requirements.

  • Jobsite Planning and Controls

    We review each project to identify risks and establish controls for site conditions and scope. Planning addresses access, staging, material handling, and protection of adjacent work to ensure safe execution on high-stakes commercial jobs.

  • Heavy Material Handling

    Installation involves large, heavy, and fragile materials placed at height. Our crews follow procedures including controlled staging, mechanical lifting or team-lift protocols, and trained aerial lift use with fall-protection practices.

  • Coordination and Improvement

    We work with general contractors and trades to maintain a safe, organized jobsite and protect occupants in active facilities. Safety performance is monitored, and lessons learned are incorporated into ongoing training and planning.
