At ET Design-Build, safety isn’t just a requirement. It’s a mindset, a value, and a promise. As we celebrate Construction Safety Week 2025, we’re proud to reaffirm our commitment to building a culture where every team member returns home safe, every day.

This year’s Construction Safety Week theme, “Value Every Voice,” reminds us that true safety culture begins with empowering our people to speak up, engage, and lead. At ET, we’ve built our safety program around that very principle.

ET is thrilled to celebrate nearly a decade of unwavering commitment to safety. This legacy is marked by zero OSHA incidents across 900,000 work hours. An impressive milestone, it reflects the dedication and teamwork of every individual in our organization. Together, we ensure that safety remains at the forefront of everything we do. Our efforts were honored with the prestigious ENR Midwest Best Project in Safety award, a testament to our rigorous standards and culture of care.

From preconstruction planning to project closeout, our team proactively identifies risks and implements systems to mitigate them. Every job begins with a detailed hazard analysis and continues with daily jobsite safety inspections and weekly safety audits. Our project managers and site superintendents lead by example, reinforcing safe work habits and ensuring compliance with OSHA standards at every level.

We believe education is key to creating a culture of accountability and confidence. That’s why every employee at ET —whether in the field or in the office—receives safety training tailored to their role. We regularly host toolbox talks, hands-on demonstrations, and certification opportunities to keep our teams sharp, informed, and prepared.

Safety isn’t static. It evolves. We stay ahead of the curve by leveraging the latest technology to monitor site conditions, track performance metrics, and facilitate real-time communication. From drone site mapping to digital safety checklists, our tech-forward approach makes it easier to spot risks and resolve them quickly.

As we honor the Construction Safety Week 2025 message, we echo the importance of inclusion and open communication. At ET, every team member is encouraged to raise concerns, share ideas, and contribute to a safer, stronger project environment. Our company safety policy ensures that anyone—at any time—can halt operations if they believe conditions are unsafe. That’s not just policy. It’s trust in action.

A safe jobsite is a productive jobsite and a high-quality one, too. Our safety practices go hand-in-hand with the level of excellence our clients expect. When we prioritize the wellbeing of our people, we build better projects and foster stronger partnerships.

Throughout Construction Safety Week 2025, we’re proud to stand with others in the industry to champion safety, celebrate our teams, and commit to constant improvement. At ET Design-Build, safety is more than a week-long focus. It’s who we are, every day of the year.
