Safety

Safety is more than a goal on our jobsites. It’s a core value that applies to everything we do. The saying — Safety Does Not Happen By Accident — embodies BLM’s firm belief that all incidents are preventable and that any injury is unacceptable. It challenges the entire BLM team – employees and subcontractors – to actively participate in the process and to develop innovative approaches to overcome obstacles to achieving and maintaining a Zero Incident workplace. We all come to work anticipating going home as we arrived; it is our desire for that to happen each and every day which drives us to promote safety in the workplace.
