Commitment to Safety

Uncompromising Safety Practices for Zero Incidents

Safety, health and environmental aspects of our business are managed through a comprehensive system with a simple, clear-cut goal – zero incidents. Our management team, both in the field and at the highest echelons of our corporate leadership, asserts remarkable accountability for safety – our number one criterion for evaluating job performance and project success.

Safety execution plans and job safety checklists (JSCs) are required on all Austin Industrial projects. We use a jobsite employee-owner involvement process called Safety Performance Improvement Council to improve practices and reinforce the importance of safety. While other companies regard safety and quality separately, four of our ten basic beliefs regarding quality are rooted in safety. 

Noteworthy safety achievements by Austin Industrial include:

Pioneering efforts in demonstrating that a contractor can successfully apply all the requirements of the OSHA Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) gained recognition by local, regional and national OSHA offices, as well as our customers; Austin Industrial has numerous VPP "STAR" sites and will continue to be a leader in this program.
