Today, we mark a significant milestone in our commitment to workplace safety. Fifty-five years ago, on April 28, 1970, the Occupational Safety and Health Act came into effect, guaranteeing every worker the right to a safe workplace.
Every year, on April 28th, we solemnly observe Workers Memorial Day. This day is dedicated to remembering those who lost their lives, were injured, or suffered illnesses in the construction industry. It also serves as a poignant reminder of National Steel City’s unwavering commitment to providing the safest and healthiest work environment for our employees.
At National Steel City, we understand that our employees are our most valuable asset. We are unwavering in our commitment to ensuring that each employee returns home to their families every day. To achieve this, we employ industryleading health, safety, and environmental policies and procedures, foster a strong safety culture, provide comprehensive employee training, and prioritize safety in all our project planning.
Health, Safety, and Environmental Stewardship are the core values of National Steel City’s SAWHORSE “Safety At Work, Home, Office, Recreation, Safety Everywhere” safety culture. This culture is not just a set of rules, but a way of life. It’s a dedication to a Safety-First mindset that our employees carry from our offices and projects to their homes. By instilling this mindset, we ensure that each employee returns home to their families daily.
As we commemorate Workers Memorial Day, we ask employees to recommit themselves to National Steel City’s SAWHORSE safety culture and everything they do to eliminate injuries and fatalities.
