United Construction has a safety-focused culture and sets a precedence for safety in the workplace, with a commitment to zero accidents and zero injuries. From on-site logistics and training to expert advisement from our partner Elite Safety, we take this seriously, and that includes protecting the health of our team. We are especially proud – not just this special week but every week – to have the support of our safety partner to help us excel in our high safety standards for our projects.<\/p>\n

If we could pin one incident as a major test of our immense dedication to preventing injury and illness at work, it would be the COVID-19 pandemic. With strict precautions to keep everyone healthy – including mask mandates, social distancing, high cleanliness standards and fostering a culture of care where our staff members are encouraged to take sick time to care for ourselves – we will always keep the health and safety of our United team and partners at the forefront of what we do day in and day out.<\/p>\n
