UMC is honored to be the only mechanical contractor to win a National Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA), CNA Safety Excellence Award for the fourth time in the last seven years.
At UMC, we’re deeply committed to upholding the highest standards of safety in the industry, and being recognized by the MCAA underscores our unwavering dedication to this crucial aspect of our work.
Setting us apart is our relentless pursuit of innovation and improvement, fueled by our unwavering belief that a successful jobsite is a safe jobsite. At the heart of our safety philosophy is our unique "Pride-based Safety" program, spearheaded by our Director of Safety, Kirk Baisch.
What does "Pride-based Safety" entail? It's about instilling a sense of ownership and responsibility in each of our team members while following our five mantras.
- Lead by Example – Do the right thing, not because it is a rule, but because it is right.
- Own Your Zone – Evaluate your work area to ensure it is clean, organized, and hazard-free.
- 5 for 5 – Every 5 minutes, do a 5-second visual risk assessment.
- Know When to Stop – If you are unsure, STOP, ask, and get more information.
- Engagement & Inclusion – Align everyone as an integral part of the team, influencing overall performance.
"I couldn't be prouder of our team," says Baisch. "Their commitment to safety, their dedication to excellence—it's what drives us forward every single day."
This award isn't just a testament to our past achievements; it's a validation of our ongoing efforts to cultivate a culture of safety and empowerment. As we continue to grow and evolve as a company, safety will always remain at the forefront of everything we do.
