Safety & Quality Assurance
At Merck General Contracting, safety and quality are at the core of everything we do. With over 45 years of experience in commercial construction, we have established rigorous standards and protocols to ensure that every project is completed with the highest level of safety, efficiency, and quality. Our commitment to safety and quality assurance is what sets us apart in the construction industry, and we pride ourselves on creating a safe and sustainable environment for all involved.
​
Why Safety & Quality Assurance Matter
Construction is a dynamic and often challenging industry, where safety is paramount and the quality of work can impact the long-term viability of a building. A focus on safety reduces the risk of accidents, protects workers and clients, and helps minimize delays due to safety-related incidents. Likewise, a commitment to quality assurance ensures that each project meets both the expectations of our clients and industry standards.
​
By implementing strong safety measures and maintaining stringent quality controls, we ensure that your project is completed on time, within budget, and to the highest standards of construction. Our safety and quality assurance protocols help mitigate risks, prevent costly mistakes, and guarantee the final result is a reliable, durable, and high-performance building.

Our Safety & Quality Assurance Approach
At Merck General Contracting, safety and quality assurance are deeply embedded in our processes. We utilize best practices and a thorough, proactive approach to ensure every project meets our clients' expectations while maintaining the highest safety standards. Here’s how we implement safety and quality at every stage of construction:
​
-
Comprehensive Safety Plan
Our safety plans are developed before the start of each project and are tailored to meet the specific needs of the job site. We assess potential risks, set safety protocols, and ensure that our team is fully trained and equipped to handle any hazards that may arise. Our goal is to provide a safe work environment for every person on the job site, from contractors to clients.
-
Ongoing Safety Training & Compliance
We believe that safety is an ongoing commitment, and it starts with training. Our team members undergo regular safety training, ensuring they are up-to-date with the latest industry standards and regulations. We comply with all OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) guidelines, and our team participates in regular safety audits and assessments to ensure we meet or exceed safety expectations.
-
Risk Management and Hazard Mitigation
Safety hazards are identified early in the planning process, allowing us to implement effective risk management strategies. Throughout the project, we constantly monitor the site for potential risks, ensuring any safety concerns are addressed immediately. Whether it’s equipment maintenance, securing hazardous materials, or adjusting construction methods, our team takes proactive steps to mitigate risks and ensure the safety of all personnel.
-
Quality Control Inspections
Quality control is an ongoing process that begins in the early stages of construction and continues throughout the life of the project. We implement strict quality control checks to ensure that all materials, systems, and workmanship meet or exceed industry standards. Our inspectors perform regular site visits to monitor progress, identify potential issues, and ensure everything is built to specification.
-
Third-Party Inspections and Testing
In addition to our internal quality control procedures, we collaborate with trusted third-party inspectors and testing agencies to ensure that all aspects of the construction meet industry certifications and local building codes. This includes structural, electrical, and environmental testing, as well as compliance with energy efficiency standards.
-
Continuous Monitoring and Reporting
Throughout the construction process, we provide our clients with regular updates on safety and quality metrics. Our team submits detailed reports on safety inspections, quality checks, and compliance with all regulations. We maintain transparency with our clients, ensuring they are informed at every step of the process.
-
Final Quality Assurance Review
Once the construction project is complete, we conduct a final quality assurance review to ensure everything is in top condition before handover. This includes a final walkthrough to identify any punch list items, ensuring that all systems are working properly, and verifying that the building is fully compliant with all safety and quality standards.
-
Post-Construction Support
Our commitment to safety and quality extends beyond the completion of the project. We provide post-construction support to ensure that your building continues to operate at its highest standards. This includes maintenance services, system checks, and addressing any issues that may arise after occupancy.
