Keeping our employees safe is a tremendous part of who we are and what we do.”
“To be a leader in today’s construction and services industries means recognizing the problems of these industries and doing something about it,” said Copley. “Poor work practice not only causes injuries but is also at the root of waste, damage, and rework. Customers want the job done right and that’s why at EMCOR we strive for continuous improvement. Our good work practice outreach program is the result of collaboration across EMCOR’s 75+ operating companies; it not only improves their outcomes but also raises the bar across the industry.”
