About the HomeSafe® Colorado Program
The HomeSafe Colorado Partnership Agreement between the Denver and Englewood Offices of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Home Builders Association of Metro Denver (HBA) was created to encourage employers in the residential homebuilding industry to strive for accident free jobsites through effective safety and health training, job site risk assessments, and enforcement.
On June 17th, 2016, representatives from OSHA and the HBA of Metro Denver came together to execute the new HomeSafe Partnership Agreement, extending the partnership through June 2019.
