McKinstry’s Pledge To Own Safety

McKinstry’s Pledge To Own Safety

By Joseph Hagar | President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer

June is National Safety Month, a time to raise awareness and take action to prevent injuries and accidents in the workplace and beyond. Safety is prevalent in every aspect of McKinstry, and this month serves as a reinforcement of our commitment to creating a safe environment to ensure every person goes home unharmed.

As McKinstry continues to grow and evolve, so do our safety requirements and the way we leverage innovative technology. Examples of this include the use of AI to supplement current safety practices, new solar safety training as part of our renewables business and elevating safety in a variety of ways on project sites. During this month, we’re encouraging employees to complete a safety pledge and share their personal “why” they own safety and commit to supporting their teammates by working safely every day.

Safety is a key indicator of our operational excellence, our risk management and our reputation. When we prevent accidents, injuries and damages, we save costs, increase productivity and enhance our brand value. Safety is more than a separate function; it’s an integral part of our business strategy and culture.

When we commit to owning safety, we protect what matters most — our people, our clients and our communities. I’m grateful to work at McKinstry where safety is more than a rule or a regulation. It’s a mindset that we all share and contribute to for our collective success.
