At Cheltenham Construction Services – operating as CCS – our regard for safety has never been higher. We enjoy a very low injury rate, with no serious injuries for over 20 years.

We hold in high regard our staff and the valuable services they provide.

Recently, we were able to obtain a successful settlement to the OSHA Citations.

Likewise, we entered into an agreement with OSHA which calls for enhanced abatement efforts, updated safety policies and a revised commitment to discipline for those who choose not to follow our rules.

In the end, Cheltenham has state of the art safety policies, we monitor work sites and if needed, issue discipline to offenders. In that context, we expect our excellent safety record to be maintained if not improved even further. This is a great place to work because of our staff, our good relationship with our labor union partners and our total dedication to a safe workplace.
