Pursuit of Zero
Our Journey to a Stronger Safety Culture
Interstates has adopted behavioral-based safety practices for over a decade and continues to evolve to stretch their people to work safer. Our organization strongly believes that “rules don’t keep people safe, culture does.” Interstates takes great pride in maintaining an excellent safety record and the proactive way the safety culture has been built. It is also an enterprise-wide goal to continually reinforce a strong Zero Injury Culture that keeps people safe. It is the ultimate goal that every employee returns home in the same condition in which they arrive.
Throughout the journey to zero, our client partners have been a critical component to our success. Their passion and partnerships have helped build healthy work environments which are of vital importance in enabling our safety culture to grow. It is our desire to see all of our trade and client partners uncover a similar vision for zero injuries. We consider them an extension of our family and we want all of our family to be safe.
Interstates Reaches One Million Hours Without a Recordable Four Times
A million consecutive work hours without a recordable is a rare feat in our industry. Fewer than 100 other contractors have done this in the United States, and Interstates has achieved this safety milestone four times in the last seven years. This means we had a million working hours safe across all our job sites without a recordable injury. Interstates joins only twenty-four other construction companies in the United States who have repeated this achievement more than once.
“The Interstates family has proven again that zero is possible. The health and well-being of our family members is number one. We are truly committed to zero.”
