Safety

At Woodward Design+Build, we understand that accidents are prevented through careful planning, training, and cooperative efforts in all areas of our operations.

Safety is the responsibility of every Woodward employee and the single focus of our corporate safety team. All work is performed in the safest manner possible consistent with good construction practices.

“Through partnership agreements, employers learn that OSHA, NSC, AGC and similar organizations are valuable allies in working cooperatively to address critical safety and health issues,” says Woodward Vice President of Operations Donnie Johnston.

“This approach is a very effective tool for reducing fatalities, injuries, and illnesses in the construction industry,” he says.

Woodward has developed a culture that promotes an injury-free environment and provides the safest workplace possible for our employees, subcontractors, clients, and others who enter or who are near our construction sites. Our motto is: “Every worker goes home from each of our jobs, every day.”

It certainly has proved effective for Woodward. In January 2007, the company reached a key milestone by logging more than one million man-hours with no lost time due to injuries. To date, the company has logged over a million and a half man-hours with no lost time due to injuries.
