Safety is our top priority
Hub Foundation has a comprehensive commitment to safety from every laborer in the field to the management in the office and the mechanics in the shop. Our commitment to safety requires continual training, communication, and dedication. Our union workforce is highly trained and highly specialized in the work that we do. We foster our commitment to safety on a daily basis and emphasize the responsibility to stop work if an unsafe act or condition arises. At Hub Foundation we want every employee to be able to work in a safe environment.
Responsibility
We plan ahead for safety in each phase of every project. Still, every employee at Hub Foundation has the responsibility to stop work given an unforeseen circumstance: “if you see something, say something.” Our safety programs and training govern how we conduct our business. This commitment is how we have come to be recognized as a corporation whose personnel and leadership exemplify collaboration and trust in the service of safety.
Excellence & Integrity
Hub Foundation’s safety and health practices are built upon time-tested values of excellence and integrity in our personnel and procedures. Safety has always been an integral part of every day at Hub Foundation, from regular training to toolbox talks. Our crews engage in regular training for the most up-to-date standards. Each person at Hub is part of a greater team working towards a common goal of exceptional work in the safest manner.
