Zero Incidents Culture

“ZERO INCIDENTS” CULTURE

Safety at Shaw-lundquist

Project safety is essential on every job site. Whether a new build or the renovation of an occupied structure, Shaw-Lundquist’s goal is ZERO Incidents. A “zero incidents” safety culture is more ambitious than the traditional “zero accidents” approach. We strive to proactive assess safety risks well in advance of construction, choosing the best possible means and methods of construction from the perspective of safety. Our experienced field teams are encouraged to “use their imaginations” to consider all possible scenarios that could suggest unsafe methods or behaviors before they occur.
