OCIP Compliance Program Delivers 14 Months Injury-Free

The Challenge: Multi-Contractor Site, No Unified Safety Oversight

A large-scale environmental remediation and infrastructure project—valued at over $120 million—was operating under an Owner-Controlled Insurance Program (OCIP). The project involved 12 subcontractors, each with their own EHS procedures, safety cultures, and risk tolerances. With inconsistent safety performance, disjointed reporting, and increased regulatory visibility, the client needed a full-time partner to lead compliance and unify the site under a single EHS strategy.

Key issues

No centralized oversight of EHS responsibilities
