Employee Commitment & Responsibilities
Distribution Construction Co. strives to protect our employees and the employees of our customers.  We are committed to providing a work environment free from recognized hazards through our Behavior Based Safety process.  At Distribution Construction Co., safe behaviors are reinforced through management commitment and employee involvement because safety is one of our core values. 

Contractor & Subcontractor Responsibilities
As a general contractor, Distribution Construction Co. is responsible for the safety of not only its employees, but also the employees of any subcontractor.  Consequently, potential subcontractors are required to submit a copy of their safety manual, as well as a Certificate of Insurance naming Distribution Construction Co. as additional insured on the Umbrella policy covering Employers Liability, Comprehensive Liability, Business Automobile Liability, and Workers Compensation coverage.   This insurance coverage is to be written through “A-“ or better rated carriers as indicated by the most current “Best Property & Casualty Rating Guide” and through carriers authorized to do business in the State or States in which the work is performed. The Certificate of Insurance shall be satisfactory to our requirements, from each applicable company, showing the required insurance to be in force, and stating that the insurance shall not be canceled, non-renewed, or coverage be materially reduced except upon thirty (30) days written notice to Distribution Construction Co. or as otherwise required by the Prime Contract Document.
