Since its founding in 1976, Structural Group has always practiced a strong commitment to safety. When introduced to the concept of Safety 24/7, we focused our efforts on creating a culture of safety – not only on the jobsite, but also within our offices and our private lives outside of work.
The Safety 24/7 philosophy has become an integral part of each Structural Group employee’s personal commitment to his or her own safety, as well as to the safety of friends, family and coworkers.
Our employees demand, and actively participate in, the establishment of a safe environment by proactively identifying and communicating concerns on the job. All employees are given the authority and responsibility to stop what they are doing and address the situation if they feel it compromises safety.
In construction, production rates, schedules and budgets can create intense pressures to satisfy the needs of clients, which may cause individuals to compromise safety for timeliness. With our implementation of the Safety 24/7 philosophy, we have adopted the concept of safe production, where safety and production are united as one idea.
Building safety as a core value has become an integral part of the health and wellbeing of ourselves and those around us and has also been critical to the success of our projects and our company’s growth.
