SAFETY

BUILD SAFE. BUILD WELL. BE WELL.

Nor-Son continues to lead the industry with its safety culture and performance. Our Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) Award-winning Platinum status since 2002 reinforces this commitment to safety.

Under the guidance of our Safety Director and in collaboration with site Superintendents, Nor-Son consistently strives to improve its safety program and practice in the workplace by offering and enforcing training modules for all field supervision, craftsmen and project management. The company has partnered with MNOSHA and ABC, and also provides an active Safety Committee that meets to review and implement the latest standards and training opportunities.

GREEN BUILDING

NOR-SON UTILIZES GREEN BUILDING AND SUSTAINABLE DESIGN TECHNIQUES

Nor-Son strives to ensure every structure it creates is worthy of the land it inhabits. In accordance with the United States Green Building Council (USGBC), Nor-Son architects, project managers and field personnel give the utmost care in taking a project from the conceptual to the physical to the sustainable. Nor-Son employs Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) accredited professionals and is continually striving to acquire green knowledge, expertise and credentials.

From eliminating tree loss during construction to reducing storm water runoff, Nor-Son team members strive to achieve both ecological and visual harmony between our clients' structures and their surrounding natural and built environment. Nor–Son environments are intelligently designed, materials are diligently sourced and structures are carefully constructed to maximize energy efficiency and minimize the life cycle cost of the client's building as well as the impact to the environment.

When creating a building, Nor-Son considers the complete building life cycle – siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance and removal. Nor-Son is committed to increasing the efficiency with which its clients' buildings use energy, water, and materials.
