Safety

🛡️Our Commitment to Safety🛡️

At KE&G Construction, safety isn’t just a requirement — it’s a core value. We believe that every person on the jobsite deserves to go home at the end of the day in the same—or better—condition than when they arrived. Our goal is not simply to comply with regulations, but to instill a culture where zero incidents are expected and actively pursued.

Safety Mission Statement

“Everyone goes home safe, every day.”

That mission drives us: to protect lives through proactive training, comprehensive planning, and a culture that puts safety above all else. We firmly believe safety and productivity go hand in hand, and we are committed to leading the industry in both.

Safety Programs & Training

KE&G’s award-winning safety program includes:

• Comprehensive Onboarding: New employees are assimilated into our safety culture through a detailed on-boarding process. Employees complete their OSHA 10 certification as well as a myriad of other topics related not just to safety, but to our organizations vision of a safe workplace.

• Daily Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs): Site supervisors conduct daily assessments to identify and mitigate risks before work begins.

• Weekly Toolbox Talks: Ongoing education and reminders on relevant safety topics help maintain awareness and accountability.

• Certified Safety Training: Employees receive OSHA 10/30-hour training, CPR/First Aid certification, and other trade-specific courses.

We also invest in regular supervisory training, equipment certifications, and continuous feedback loops to improve safety practices.

Safety Culture

Our safety culture represents a group effort, and we are proud to foster a culture where

• All team members are empowered to stop work if unsafe conditions arise.

• Open communication is encouraged across all levels of the organization.

• Leading indicators (like near-miss reporting) are used to prevent accidents before they occur.

This culture is reinforced through leadership commitment, peer accountability, and frequent site audits.

Safety Recognition & Compliance

• EMR (Experience Modification Rate): Our EMR consistently outperforms the industry average, reflecting our commitment to safety excellence.

• Full OSHA Compliance: Our daily job site inspections, and craft specific training help us to exceed federal and state safety regulations.

• Safety Awards: KE&G has been recognized for outstanding safety performance by industry associations and clients.
