Specialty Contractor Under 1 Million Worker Hours

UMC aims for the highest level of compliance, preparation and awareness — operating as a team — with each person responsible for the safety of every other person. Employees work carefully and deliberately, watch out for one another, and regularly take steps toward recognizing and correcting hazards. The challenge is that this mindset of safety — ingrained in the very fiber of the work they do — extends beyond UMC’s boundaries. The company believes in focusing on the success of the entire team. It has one objective — a safe and successful project — and, from the client’s perspective, all one team.

This belief and mindset have led UMC to become more of a partner and consultant to other contractors and subcontractors, helping them with their safety programs. UMC takes on this additional role to help set the tone for each jobsite and drive safety. UMC also does not differentiate specialty-contractor performance from its own — its specialty contractors are a reflection of UMC and are held to the same standards of the company’s own personnel. This is accomplished by early planning, coordination and communication before a project starts and during planning phases. A testament to UMC’s success is winning the 2019 AGC of Washington Grand Award for Safety Excellence — an award that is almost exclusively given out to general contractors.
