CORNELL STOREFRONT SYSTEMS SAFETY PROGRAM

Cornell Storefront Systems is taking a strong initiative regarding vendor safety.

Our goal is to help our vendors implement a safe working environment for both their employees and our customers. We will continue to work on improving this goal. Cornell has hired a Vendor Relation Supervisor to not only establish a strong vendor base but also a safe vendor base. We have taken a very proactive position in regards to safety. The following steps are routinely monitored to insure safety along with an annual inspection history on OSHA’S website:

1. Monitor all active vendors insurance certificates to assure they have the Cornell required insurance coverage.
2. Contact all vendors with expired insurance certificates and request renewal certificates.
3. Hold payment and additional work for vendors who have failed to comply.
4. Require vendors to complete a Safety Awareness questionnaire and supply Cornell with a copy of their NCCI mod rate letter.
5. Requiring vendors to list CSS, Inc. (Cornell Storefront Systems) as Additional Insured on their insurance.
6. Field safety audits at job locations of top vendors.
7. Selected Cornell management completing an OSHA Construction Safety 10 hour course.
8. Provide a resource for vendors without a safety program the information to initiate a program.

Cornell will continue to be very aggressive in regards to safety. Only vendors willing to comply with our safety standards will be considered.
