Today we kick off Construction Safety Week. This week, construction firms across the U.S. and Canada will work together to educate our industry and build awareness about construction safety.
Safety is the foundation of everything we do at PC and the most important part of our PEOPLE FIRST core value. We are also an employee-owned company, which further empowers every member of our team to be safety ambassadors on our jobsites. This starts with a significant leadership presence in the field, reinforcing safety processes and driving team-based operational safety planning. By utilizing behavioral-based safety practices, we all demonstrate genuine care for every employee owner and trade partner worker and are invested in their safety and well-being. And it requires every employee to be active in his or her role by looking out for each other, speaking up, and voicing ideas and concerns.
Active involvement, proactive safety planning and proper training bring greater individual ownership of daily safety activities and outcomes. At PC, this practice has evolved safety from a mandate to a culture. Being a member of the PC team or working on one of our sites means you accept responsibility for yourself and for everyone working around you. It is a team effort, and a team success. This week is a celebration of the people of our industry and their commitment to each other.
Stay tuned on our LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter channels to learn how we are making the most of this week to educate, share, collaborate and celebrate!
