2025 Safety Excellence Award
We were presented with a 2025 Safety Excellence Award by EMCOR Group, our parent company, recognizing our recent launch of a comprehensive safety reboot that engaged leadership, field teams, and support staff and served as a catalyst for meaningful cultural change.
The reboot focused on re-establishing safety as a core value set in daily operations, with every team member taking ownership over safety. Transparent dialogue between leadership and field personnel is encouraged, and safety performance data is shared openly during All Hands meetings, quarterly safety briefings, and more.
Every meeting starts with a safety focus, and digital “Days Free from Injury” boards display real-time data, acting as a visible safety reminder at each location. These efforts promote shared accountability and a collective understanding of safety progress.
We also conducted a full evaluation of our PPE needs, strengthening PPE tracking and replenishment, and placing a strong emphasis on PPE use in our training regime. This has helped ensure every technician has the tools, protection, access, and PPE knowledge for their job.
Safety training was further revamped to increase engagement, with more in-person education, an emphasis on pre-task planning, and the incorporation of feedback from team members on relevant courses. Feedback also helped us prioritize the development of a new, more visible safety recognition program.
Driver safety was another area of renewed focus. We invested in new vehicles, prioritized maintenance routines, and completely rewrote our driver safety program. Drivers receive monthly scorecards, and Geotab data is reviewed monthly to provide timely, constructive coaching focused on supporting drivers, not simply monitoring them.
The safety reboot had a tangible impact on a number of complex projects we were a part of in 2025, including a high-profile sports arena, multi-building condominium, and major financial office renovation. On the last of these, we were recognized with a subcontractor safety award from the general contractor.
Our efforts demonstrate a true cultural shift rooted in accountability, engagement, and genuine care for one another—all core to achieving safety excellence.
