Aecon Buildings President George Kramer began his career as a laborer and knows firsthand how important it is that workers return home in the same condition as they arrived on site.

To demonstrate the company’s commitment to this goal, Aecon superintendents perform daily safety inspections, and its project managers and engineers perform weekly site inspections. Aecon’s safety manager conducts weekly audits of the site inspections with documentation to ensure compliance.

Aecon’s inspection policy has produced significant improvements in hazard recognition. The company, an AGC Safety Team member, had no recordable injuries in 2010 — its second perfect record in three years.

The company’s last time-loss accident was in 2001.
