Values & Vision

Our commitment to safety provides the foundation for our operational excellence.  We believe that the best way to embed safety into everything we do is to foster a relationship of trust throughout our organization.

  • We empower our employees to take a “time out for safety” when they are unsure of job procedures and shut down unsafe activities at any time without fear of reprisal.
  • We encourage prompt disclosure of accidents, near misses and safety issues.
  • We recognize “on the spot” safe behavior and reward individual performers.
  • We begin every meeting with a safety message.

Zero Injury Techniques

We subscribe to the philosophy of zero injuries and follow the standards of the Construction Industry Institute's best practices through the use of zero injury techniques. Our techniques to improve project safety performance emphasize pre-planning, worker engagement and training as well as proactive measures to ensure a safe workplace.

We believe that all incidents and accidents are preventable.  The responsibility for accident prevention is shared at every level in our organization, from the president through upper and middle management to our talented craft laborers.
