Everything Begins with Safety

CEO Greg Graves ensures every Burns & McDonnell employee-owner understands that safety is an essential element of career success. Our project safety records demonstrate the success of this approach.

Every project at Burns & McDonnell operates with the safety philosophy that zero recordable incidents can be accomplished with proper planning, resources and follow-through. The importance of safety is advocated by focusing on training efforts, including Burns & McDonnell, client and Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) requirements, while embracing industry best practices.

A truly successful project starts with safety as priority one for its employees and the project, and Burns & McDonnell's commitment to safety supports the realization of a successful project.

Burns & McDonnell's safety record puts us in the top 1% of all contractors nationwide. However, we are determined not to rest upon past successes, but to use those successes as a foundation for continual improvement."
