Western Construction Group's emphasis on safety is well documented. Projects are analyzed carefully and steps are taken to ensure safe operations long before crews report for work. Employees receive training in identifying potential hazards and procedures to assure their correction. During the first two years of employment, the period during which most accidents occur, team member's work methods are monitored closely to enhance on-the-job safety.

Other safety protocols in place include site visits by Western inspectors to assure proper procedures are followed, inspections by our insurance carrier's safety engineers and a stringent substance-abuse screening program for all employees. Western also provides a confidential Employee Assistance Program to help workers manage the non-work related stresses that can negatively impact safety.

For customers, this comprehensive and proactive approach translates into added value: Western's insurance experience-modifiers historically have been significantly lower than the national average. For Western, it means the ability to attract and keep a higher caliber of craftsmen. Western employees know they are part of a company that genuinely cares for their well-being as well as the work they perform.
