Construction Management Teams (CMTs) have been activated to help identify hazards, reduce risks, and promote safety education and compliance where rebuild construction is taking place.
The CMTs will also coordinate and facilitate construction activity to minimize traffic congestion and provide contractors with direct access to regulators.
“The CMTs will make a difference in managing safety and compliance in the rebuild,” said Kim Jenkins, Chair of the Rebuild Sub-Committee of the Wood Buffalo Recovery Committee. “It’s essential that we have these teams to coordinate directly with contractors and to address residents’ concerns.”
The locations are based on proximity and similar rebuilding requirements and staff are onsite from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days per week.
