2023 Safety Excellence Award

We were recognized with the 2023 EMCOR Safety Excellence Award in the industrial services category. We implemented a number of new, creative safety initiatives aimed at empowering employees while emphasizing data-driven improvements that helped us earn this award. Each year, one of the companies under EMCOR Industrial Services is given this award for demonstrating an outstanding commitment to safety.

We believe that a strong safety culture must be actively cultivated. We’ve gone to great lengths to empower our employees to take ownership of their safety program. This includes ongoing safety training, regular safety audits and inspections, and investments in new technologies and resources.

Daily safety meetings and toolbox talks encourage our employees to voice concerns, and team members are consistently reminded of their stop work authority. Team members who demonstrate safety leadership are encouraged to direct safety meetings and mentor their peers.

In 2023, we created a new “Crew of the Week” award to celebrate teams who demonstrated outstanding safety performance. We also reinforced our Helping Everyone Learn and Participate (HELP) Card program, which actively encourages our employees to suggest initiatives that could improve safety and productivity in the field.

Alongside these efforts to empower employees, we also emphasize data-driven improvements and pay special attention to several leading indicators. We closely track near miss reporting, safety training participation, compliance, and feedback and our team is constantly analyzing safety performance and benchmarking.

Robust safety data helps us assess the success of our program, identify potential risks early, and implement targeted interventions. For example, employee feedback helped us realize that frontline supervisors played a critical role in responding to medical emergencies on-site and needed CPR training. To address this gap, we implemented a comprehensive CPR training program in 2023 that was specifically targeted at these positions.

As a testament to the growth of our safety culture, we have been awarded a number of safety recognitions over the past few years from leading industry organizations, many of them for the first time in company history. Our 2023 EMCOR Safety Excellence Award is one honor among these that speaks to the ingenuity and effectiveness of our safety program.
