Safety

Safety is more than words and checklists. It’s a commitment to people.  At Clyde Companies, we believe everyone deserves to go home safe each day. That commitment shows–on every job site, in every facility, and across every company.

Our Safety Culture

We don’t settle for minimum standards. We look out for each other, speak up, and hold ourselves accountable because safety is personal. Through daily planning, ongoing training, and open communication, every team member plays a part in building a safer workplace.

“We’ve built a company that lasts because we put people first. When we care about the people we work with, safety naturally becomes part of everything we do. It’s the daily habits and decisions that keep us moving forward and bring everyone home safely at the end of each day.”

Jess Anderson
Geneva Rock Safety Director

“For more than a century, Clyde Companies has been built on doing things the right way. A strong safety culture reflects that commitment and plays a critical role in the peace of mind we strive to provide. When the work is well planned and supported, our teams can focus on doing their jobs responsibly and looking out for one another.”

Jeremy Hafen
President & CEO, Clyde Companies

“Safety is part of everything we do at Clyde Companies. It is the most important way we demonstrate that We Value People. Since everything we do has certain risks, our job is to take care of ourselves and those around us. We follow safety processes and practices so that we all go home safe each day.”

Scott Okelberry
Executive Vice President and COO, Clyde Companies

“We show that we value people when each one of us takes responsibility to identify and correct hazards in our workplaces. All of us are expected to protect ourselves and our team members by speaking up when we see hazards that need to be addressed. When we work as a team, we make sure that each one of us goes home safe and healthy at the end of each day.”

Cameron Ruppe
Suncore Safety Director

“We value every team member who shows up each day to help build a better community. Our mission is to ensure everyone has the tools, training, and support needed to make safe, informed decisions—both for themselves and for those around them. At the end of the day, it’s individual choices that drive our safety culture, and we are committed to empowering each person to make the right ones.”

Programs That Protect

We’ve developed and continually improve our programs and practices that bring safety into the details of every day:

JHA

Job Hazard Analysis is embedded into our work planning process to identify risks before work begins.

Goal

Get Out And Look prevents backing incidents through awareness and observation.

Plan

Daily planning means team communications for personal and crew-level risk are identified and prevented.

Smarter Tools. Safer Teams.

We’re investing in smart safety cameras across our fleet to promote safe driving and provide visibility and feedback into on-the-job behavior. These tools help protect our team and community, and support confident, informed decisions.
