Construction Safety Week
May 5 – 9, 2025: Commit to Excellence. Deliver with Intent.
In the world of construction, we’re not just building structures; we’re engaging in the ultimate team sport. Every great team knows that success depends on every teammate’s commitment to follow the plan, work safely, and support one another. When we work in sync, the result is nothing short of extraordinary. Together, we are stronger, safer, and more successful. Every day is game day on our job sites, and our playbook is clear: Commit to Excellence. Deliver with Intent.
There are no bench warmers in construction. Every member of our team is a starter, crucial to our success. By committing to excellence and delivering with intent, we’re not just completing projects; we’re redefining what it means to be a top-performing construction team. So, let’s lace up, strap our helmets on, and get ready to play. The construction field awaits, and we’ve got a championship to win—safely, efficiently, and proudly.
Job Site Safety
We Don't Just Say It, We Live It
Safety Focus Events
Safety is the cornerstone of every project we undertake across the country. The Safety Focus serves as a crucial resource for sharing best practices, updates on safety regulations, and reinforcing positive safety behaviors among our crew.
At Performance Contracting, we hold quarterly Safety Focus Events lasting a week at various job sites nationwide. These events concentrate on specific safety concerns, while also addressing unique issues pertinent to each individual job site. By consistently prioritizing construction safety, we create a more secure and efficient work environment for all.
Toolbox Talks
Weekly toolbox talks offer vital opportunities for foremen and field leaders to discuss job-specific safety measures and tackle concerns related to upcoming tasks within the construction project.
Creating an open, honest, and consistent communication channel among construction professionals is essential for laying the foundation of secure daily practices on the job site. This ongoing dialogue helps ensure a safe working environment while optimizing construction safety and efficiency.
Safety University
Safety University is a premier program hosted by Performance Contracting at our Center for Learning and Development multiple times throughout the year. This unique initiative gathers team members from all over the nation to dive into a range of safety topics tailored to their distinct operations.
By attending Safety University, our operations and safety professionals have the opportunity to broaden their knowledge, share best practices, and sharpen their skills in various safety-related areas. This cooperative learning atmosphere cultivates a robust safety culture, emphasizing our dedication to providing a safe and productive workspace for all team members participating in our projects.
