Safety

WE DON'T SEPARATE PRODUCTION AND PROTECTION. 

Safety is built into the foundation of every Hawkins job. Planning, coordination, communication, execution — it all begins with protecting the people doing the work as well as the communities around it. 

The job only counts when it’s done right, and everyone goes home safely. And we won’t stand for anything less. 

The Numbers Don't Lie.

At Hawkins, we measure, track and review safety metrics continuously. We monitor leading and lagging indicators, analyze trends, and hold everyone accountable to protect one another.

Man Cutting Wire

EMR is the construction industry benchmark for rating a company’s safety history. EMR evaluates payroll data and Workers’ Compensation claims to provide a representation of construction safety records. A 1.0 represents the industry average and anything below that signals stronger-than-average performance.
