Our Approach to Safety Management
Safety is the cornerstone of every project we deliver. For almost four decades, MacKenzie Contracting has cultivated a safety-first culture rooted in training, accountability, and proactive risk mitigation. We maintain a drug-free and alcohol-free workplace and uphold the highest standards outlined by MOSH and OSHA.
Award-Winning Safety Performance
Our safety efforts have been recognized continuously, including:
- 2002–2020: ABC Award of Excellence
- 2012: ABC S.T.E.P. Gold Level Safety Award
- 2013–2017: ABC S.T.E.P. Platinum Level Safety Award
- 2018–2025: ABC S.T.E.P. Diamond Level Safety Award
These achievements reflect our unwavering commitment to creating and maintaining safe job sites.
Zero-Tolerance Safety Culture
We operate with a strict “zero-tolerance” policy regarding unsafe practices. Every superintendent and project manager is OSHA-certified, and all subcontractors are required to participate in weekly toolbox talks focused on task-specific hazards and best practices. Daily reports track progress as well as potential safety exposures, ensuring immediate attention to any concerns.
Third-Party Safety Inspections
In addition to internal oversight, MacKenzie Contracting conducts unannounced third-party safety inspections to provide objective verification of field conditions and reinforce our high standards. These inspections help ensure that every project meets or exceeds regulatory and company safety requirements.
Leadership Engagement & On-Site Vigilance
Safety leadership is present at every level of our organization. Our Director of Operations, Scott Albright, performs regular site visits to evaluate field conditions, confirm compliance with safety plans, and support the project team in proactive hazard identification.
PPE Compliance & Emergency Preparedness
Our Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements include, at minimum, hard hats, eye protection, and safety vest, supplemented by additional equipment as project conditions require. Accident reports and emergency documentation are readily available on-site at all times.
Proven Safety Record
Our long-standing accident-free workplace and our exceptional Experience Modification Rating (EMR) of 0.71 stand as evidence of our commitment to sending every worker home safely each day. At MacKenzie Contracting, safety is not just a policy, it’s an integral part of our identity and a responsibility we uphold with pride.
With 38 years of success in the region, MacKenzie Contracting takes pride in its local ownership. Our extensive involvement in the communities we serve has led to strong working relationships with various jurisdictions and municipalities at both state and city levels. This involvement has also provided us with a unique, in-depth knowledge and understanding of the permitting and approval process. Our close ties with sub-contractors ensure that your project meets the high standards it deserves.
