McKinstry Safety

With one of the lowest MOD factors of Mechanical Contractors in the state of Washington, McKinstry has proven Safety to be a value on every project. This is reflected in our commitment to educate and train our personnel.

As a member of the Washington Drug Free Business, McKinstry is proud of our drug free standing as well as in our involvement with the AGC Safety Council, MCA Safety Council, SMACNA Safety Council, Seattle and Vicinity Construction Safety Council and the Puget Sound Area Safety Summit.

Our Safety Director, John Von Lossow, manages the ongoing training of our field personnel in many areas, including Fork/Scissor/Boom Lift Training, Material Handling Equipment, Asbestos Awareness, Scaffold Use, Confined Space, Crane and Derrick use, Fire Protection, Welding and Cutting, Ground Fault Protection, Compressed Air Atmospheres as well as various other safety aspects of the construction industry.

Every McKinstry Foreman is required to participate in safety orientation where they focus on how to spot potential accidents and prevent them from occurring. Each Foreman is also responsible for the safety training of their field personnel on a daily basis, as situations arise.

Our dedication to safety awareness and education demonstrates the value we place on safety.
