Safety awareness is an integral component in any endeavor that we undertake. Our number one priority is a proactive approach to safety, which is the cornerstone of our comprehensive safety program that includes: regular field audits, daily job safety analysis on each project, and perpetual safety training with daily, weekly, monthly and annual sessions. All employees participate in an inclusive behavior-based safety program that includes field observations and performance feedback.
