OUR APPROACH
SAFETY
WE’RE PROUD OF OUR CULTURE OF SAFETY
At Samet, Safeguarding Families ensures that all associates and subcontractors return home safely every day.
At Samet, we foster a culture of care rooted in trust, collaboration, education, and accountability through The Samet Way. Safety is both a Core Value and a priority, and we maintain best-in-class standards across all projects. Our commitment is evident in our outstanding safety record, with a current EMR of .56—well below industry norms. Every Samet team member actively participates in preventing injuries and mitigating hazards to ensure safe and successful project delivery. Our Safe Management System, aligned with all regulatory safety standards, is a strict requirement for all work at Samet.Â
PROTECTING OUR PEOPLE AND OUR PROJECTS
Safety is at the heart of everything we do. Â
Using a best-in-class platform, we pre-qualify trade partners to ensure top standards of quality and reliability. Our Safe Start Charette process drives early planning and safe-delivery strategies. Safety practices include pre-task plans, permits-to-work, and thorough orientations. Regular inspections and incident investigations support continuous improvement.Â
Our project-level Most Valuable Asset (MVA) program reflects our dedication to team member safety and well-being. The project Safety Committee drives initiatives that enhance safety, utilizing tools like Procore and Power BI for performance management, data collection, and trend analysis. Additionally, Samet’s Safety Team visits jobsites in summer to provide cool beverages and snacks, helping keep teams hydrated. Welfare Areas at each site offer spaces to sit, eat, and meet, underscoring our care and respect for our workers.Â
I understand the many challenges with building today and appreciate all of our men and women who make the time to plan for safety and to do things right.
