Turner is the largest commercial builder in the U.S. Their safety submittal standards reflect that. Here's what to expect.
Turner Construction Company is consistently ranked as the largest general contractor in the United States by ENR (Engineering News-Record). They manage projects across commercial, healthcare, education, and government sectors nationwide.
Turner is known for maintaining some of the most rigorous safety standards in the industry. Their Building L.I.F.E. (Living Injury-Free Every Day) program sets expectations that go beyond OSHA minimums. Subcontractors working on Turner projects should expect a comprehensive pre-mobilization safety review.
If Turner is your GC, your safety documentation will be reviewed by a dedicated project safety manager — not just a coordinator. Incomplete or generic plans are routinely sent back for revision.

Safety Culture
Industry-leading safety standards with dedicated project safety managers
These are the safety documents Turner Construction commonly requires from subcontractors. Your specific requirements may vary by project — always check your pre-mobilization checklist.
Submit all documents through the project's Procore instance. Turner's safety team reviews directly in Procore and may request revisions through the platform.
Name your competent person explicitly — Turner's safety managers check for this. Generic plans without named personnel are returned for revision.
Reference OSHA regulation numbers throughout your plan. Turner's review process checks for specific regulatory citations.
If you're working on a Turner project for the first time, expect a pre-mobilization meeting with their safety manager in addition to the documentation review.
Turner commonly uses Procore for project management including safety documentation submittals. Your project manager will provide access and specify upload requirements during the subcontract onboarding process.
Turner has one of the most thorough review processes in the industry. Their dedicated project safety managers review every submittal for completeness, OSHA compliance, and site-specific detail. Generic templates with placeholder text are consistently rejected.
Turner's safety team will provide specific feedback on what needs to be revised. You'll need to address their comments and resubmit. This can delay your mobilization by several days, which is why getting it right the first time matters.
The core requirements (Fall Protection Plan, Emergency Action Plan) are consistent, but additional documents vary by project scope and complexity. Your subcontract agreement and pre-mobilization checklist will specify exactly what's needed.
