Environmental, Health and Safety Commitment

At McLean Contracting, we believe that safety, quality, and production are the cornerstones of our culture. Each of these principles holds equal importance and relies on one another to ensure the success of every project we undertake.

Every member of our team is crucial to our organization’s success. Safety is a shared responsibility, and each team member must consistently contribute to creating an incident-free workplace. Our commitment to achieving excellence in our Environmental, Health, and Safety program—and in fostering a strong safety culture—is essential. This commitment is vital not only for our operations but also for the well-being of our employees and their families, and there can be no compromise in this regard.

Our Safety Excellence Commitments are:

  • We are accountable for our own safety as well as the safety of those around us.
  • We are dedicated to maintaining an incident- and injury-free workplace.
  • We recognize that everyone can make mistakes, and that human error is part of our work environment.
  • We will proactively identify and report unsafe conditions and ineffective safeguards.
  • We will neither perform nor allow unsafe actions; we have both the responsibility and authority to halt work when necessary.
  • We will uphold our safety and quality standards regardless of scheduling or budget pressures.
  • We will consistently hold ourselves and our team accountable for their actions
  • We will not begin any task until it has been thoroughly planned by the project team, including the Superintendent, Safety Coordinator, and Foreman.
  • We will select the right people for the task.
  • We will invest time in developing our team by setting clear expectations, providing positive feedback, and delivering effective training.
  • If conditions change, we will stop the task and involve the project team to address the new risks and prevent potential injuries.

While strong safety performance starts at the organizational level, its effectiveness relies on the actions of each individual. Therefore, each person’s personal commitment to safety can significantly impact safety outcomes and contribute to a safe and healthy work environment.
