SAFETY
Leading The Way With Safety
Safety is a core value that has been ingrained in McGough culture for over 65 years. We believe that a safe workplace is essential for the success of our employees, partners, and clients, and we foster a strong safety culture by thinking, behaving, and working in ways that promote a safe workplace.
A Purposeful Approach to Construction Safety
Safety, as the saying goes, is no accident. It takes planning and commitment. At McGough, we have dedicated resources and safety managers on every project conducting site audits, safety meetings and site orientations. We actively incorporate specific safety requirements of the owner and participate in OSHA’s consultation program.
AWAIR™ COMPLIANCE PROGRAM
McGough’s “A Workplace Accident and Injury Reduction” (AWAIR™) safety program exceeds the most stringent OSHA regulations, is ASHA approved and ensures compliance.
BEHAVIOR-BASED SAFETY TRAINING
We instill a safety culture through positive reinforcement, accountability, and discipline. We benchmark progress through annual surveys and internal tracking tools.
SUBCONTRACTOR PARTICIPATION
We require subcontractors to meet our safety standards, conducting regular evaluations of their safety programs and on-site safety behaviors.
