Laying The Groundwork For The Future

WSN Construction is committed to providing the safest and healthiest workplace achievable. This commitment is not exclusive to our employees; it extends to our clients and their employees, the public, subcontractors, visitors, consultants, regulatory inspectors, and all other persons who may be affected by our activities and the hazards inherent to work sites. To fulfill this commitment to health and safety, we are committed to:

a group of seven safety logos

  • Developing and communicating clear health- and safety-related responsibilities, accountabilities, and lines of communication for every person/position.
  • Thoroughly evaluating projects for health and safety hazards, and developing controls to protect personnel.
  • Providing adequate levels of professional supervision on every project.
  • Ensuring all persons working and visiting our projects receive project-specific health and safety information, and are knowledgeable of the controls that will keep them safe.
  • Developing and maintaining a competency-based employee education and training program.
  • Fostering a culture that makes the health, safety, and well-being of our employees our number one priority – more important than production, profits, and serving our clients – and providing every employee the absolute right and obligation to question, stop, and correct any unsafe act or condition.
  • Providing appropriate and well-maintained tools, equipment, and personal protective equipment.
  • Regularly auditing the company’s and individuals’ health and safety performance.
