2025 Safety Excellence Award 

We were presented with the 2025 Safety Excellence Award by EMCOR Group, our parent company, recognizing the significant improvements we made to our safety program, particularly in increased training and employee development.

In 2025, we began a focused effort to have team members complete Safety Trained Supervisor for Construction (STSC) courses. In a single year, over 40 individuals earned their STSC certification. This massive undertaking has helped significantly improve hazard identification and mitigation in the field.

Additionally, we started conducting monthly safety meetings with all levels of leadership across the organization. This has improved the ability to communicate new procedures and regulations, share effective best practices, and take lessons learned at one office and implement them at other locations.

Using observational and audit data, we were also able to target work in confined spaces as an area needing improvement. We doubled down on training, purchased another confined space trailer, and made OSHA-informed adjustments to our entry procedures. This data-driven approach has helped us address confined space hazards more efficiently and safely.

These new training efforts bolstered an already rich safety culture, prioritizing employee engagement and communication.

Pre-task planning and stop work authority are constantly reinforced with senior management taking an active role in safety education to build buy-in. Leading metrics around safety meeting participation, audit completion, and repeat findings help us identify meaningful data that can be used to reduce risk.

Further, we’re focused not only on internal engagement but also on engagement with the broader industry. We have built vital relationships with local unions and industry organizations. Company leaders sit on key safety and labor committees. They also participate in OSHA’s Voluntary Protection Program (VPP).

Our culture exemplifies the deep participation and continuous effort essential to achieving outstanding safety performance year after year.
