]]> St. Louis, Mo. – According to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration, more than 4.1 million workers suffer a serious job-related injury each year. As on the job safety becomes more and more critical in maintaining a successful business, many construction companies are adopting new safety programs in an effort to ensure their workers remain unharmed. RIGGS Company & Design, a Kirkwood-based design-build remodeling firm, has been awarded a 2013 Safety Award for Excellence (SAFE) from the National Association of Home Builders for their high quality safety programs.

RIGGS’ safety programs empower workers to be true leaders within the safety arena. The RIGGS safety mantra emphasizes taking appropriate corrective action if a RIGGS employee or subcontractor is acting in an unsafe manner. This will ensure the jobsite not only remains safe, but fully productive during the duration of the project.

Recipients of the SAFE award are recognized for going the extra mile by implementing innovative construction safety programs and an overall commitment to causing positive change within the industry. Through their dedication to maintaining a safe and productive work environment, RIGGS was able to accomplish a feat rarely seen in the construction world in 2012: zero lost days of work due to injury.

“It is our mission to keep a safe and productive work environment at all times,” said Bill Riggs, President of RIGGS Company & Design. “The SAFE award only further solidifies our place as one of the safest general contractors in the St. Louis area. It is an honor and privilege to be held at such high regard.”

]]> Toddlers look at the world as a wondrous place filled with new and exciting adventures around every corner. While a child’s sense of curiosity is one of their most likable traits, it is also what can put them in harm’s way. If you’re moving into a new home or are looking to spruce up your current abode, here are a few ways you can keep your space safe as your little ones continue to grow.

While it is impossible to create an injury-free zone, it is possible to limit the risks that linger around most homes in America. As your toddler begins to walk, it is inevitable that they will want to explore every aspect of your home. While plastic, removable baby gates are quite common—they are not foolproof!

At RIGGS Company & Design, we can assist in creating semi-permanent gates that will not only keep your children at bay, but match your current aesthetic features! These gates can be installed in front of steps or between a room/area that you want to keep your child away from.

We know what you might be thinking: “once my child is older, what am I going to do with the gates?” Our gates can serve a multitude of purposes including pet gates.

Another unique safety feature we have created is known as a toe-kick stool. Most modern kitchens have a few hard to reach cabinets, so keeping a stool handy is important.  However, keeping a stool in your kitchen could entice your toddler to climb up on the counter. Our toe-kick stool conveniently tucks away under your—you guessed it—kitchen cabinet free from any wandering toddlers.

If you have a safety concern in your home, but you are not sure how to rectify the problem—give RIGGS a call today of visit us online 24/7 at www.riggscompanystl.com
