Safety is More Than A Slogan, It’s Our Commitment

At Encore, “Safety First” is more that just another slogan. It's a core value and an integral part of our company's culture. It's the foundation of our Safety Program and a moral commitment to protecting the lives and safety of our employees, clients, subcontractors and the public. Led by executive management, our commitment to implement and execute sound health, safety and environmental practices is reflected in every aspect of our activities. From early planning stages through work completion, we are committed to being a safety leader.

Our goal is to promote an injury and accident free environment and provide the safest workplace possible for everyone. Through innovative education and training programs, Encore provides its employees with the tools, knowledge and resources needed to safely accomplish their work, subsequently reducing risk and controlling losses. Our customers know about our commitment to safety and continually choose our company to provide for their specialized needs because of this shared concern. All employees are expected to consider the safety and health of themselves, their fellow employees, our clients and the public in every task they perform. And furthermore, Encore acknowledges individual safety performance with a structured award program.

Prior to the start of any project, a Job Specific Safety Pre-Plan is prepared to address the hazards and risks of each individual project. We require every employee to adhere to our safety guidelines and use safety equipment in the proper manner. Likewise, we insist that our subcontractors and their employees promote and follow appropriate safety procedures.
