Indianapolis Office Wins Safety Award!

 

Shook’s continuing company-wide emphasis on jobsite safety was recently honored when the Indiana Construction Association (ICA) presented Shook with the association’s annual Gold Summit Safety Award. Shook received the award in the category of “Highway, Heavy & Utility Prime Contractor with less than 100,000 man hours.”

This award is significant in the construction industry since it recognizes how well jobsite workers understand and apply the company’s safety program based on confidential surveys given to jobsite personnel. Our employees must indicate Shook’s safety program is best-in-class in order for the ICA to honor our efforts. The award confirms the culture of safety is led by company management and permeates each of our activities in the field. We emphasize that no task is too small to be performed safely!

Shook’s safety program is led by Joe Reich, Director of Safety and Risk Management, and Safety Coordinator, Mike Behnken. These safety experts make hundreds of jobsite visits each year performing safety audits and conducting safety classes on jobsites and in centralize classrooms. Their leadership is collaborative, contagious and permeates our project teams.

We have created an environment where our employees can come to work knowing their ability to go home in the same condition is a way of life and not just a wish.

Shook lives the culture that “Safely is the only way to work”!
