With the dynamic nature of the construction industry, R. B. Hash & Associates, Inc. uses a variety of resources to carry a safety-first mindset, all facilitated by our in-house Safety Manager. One of those resources includes our proud membership in a Captive Insurance program. As a member, R. B. Hash must maintain a strict safety culture and be held to a higher safety standard.

Our Safety Manager is proactive in communicating our safety standards to all parties involved in a project.  Since being a Captive member, R. B. Hash’s EMR has fallen to a .63, allowing us to participate in a broader range of projects.
