SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- Balfour Beatty Construction has earned LEED Gold certification for its southwest division office location in San Diego, Calif.
The firm occupies the third floor of the Cush Plaza Office Building located in Scripps Ranch. Construction of the 22,100-square-foot space required full system design and implementation, as the existing structure consisted of the core only. Features of the office retrofit include conference rooms with advanced audio-visual technology, training rooms with retractable screens, a bistro-like kitchen/lunch room, support spaces, and offices to accommodate more than 70 people.
Balfour Beatty Construction worked with design partners IR2 to design and build a space that reflects the company’s collaborative culture and commitment to sustainability. Since moving into the new space in November 2011, the office’s sustainable design solutions have made a significant impact.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health announces the availability of a new Ladder Safety smart phone application. This new app uses visual and audio signals to make it easier for workers using extension ladders to check the angle the ladder is positioned at, as well as access useful tips for using extension ladders safely. The app is available for free download for both iPhone and Android devices.
Falls from ladders are a common source of preventable construction injuries. Misjudging the ladder angle is a significant risk factor for a fall. If the ladder is set too steep it is more likely to fall back or away during use, and if it is set too shallow then the bottom can slide out.
