Zero Recordable in 2025: Building Safer Jobsites

Construction is one of the most complex and hazardous fields in the world. Every project combines moving equipment, changing environments, and teams working in tight coordination. Conditions shift quickly. Risks fluctuate throughout the day. Safety is the one element that must stay constant.

Companies that lead in this industry understand that safety is a discipline. It requires planning, training, awareness, and a culture where people look out for one another. At BEI Construction, this approach is part of the work itself. It is a habit, not a reaction. And in 2025, this commitment delivered a milestone:

• 486,769.50 hours worked
• 551 workers across multiple sites
• 1,062 projects
• Zero recordable incidents for the year

That result speaks to a system built with intention.

Recordables are incidents that meet OSHA’s threshold for medical treatment beyond first aid. Reaching zero means none of our teams experienced an injury that required escalation. It is a clear sign that safe practices are working.

A Culture That Starts Before Work Begins

Every BEI job starts with a conversation. Field teams meet for tailgate safety talks before the first task. These meetings review the day’s work plan, job site changes, and specific hazards. They serve as a reset button, bringing everyone into the same focus.

Quarterly safety meetings gather all foremen for deeper training. These sessions reinforce expectations, share lessons learned, review regulations, and strengthen consistency across all projects.

Training That Builds Skill and Confidence

Staying ahead of risk means staying ahead of training. BEI teams complete extensive safety courses that include OSHA best practices, CPR and First Aid, electrical safety, fall protection, equipment operation, and emergency preparedness. These trainings create consistency across job sites. They also build confidence. When people understand the risks, the tools, and the procedures, work becomes more predictable and safer.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is another layer of protection. Hard hats, reflective vests, task-specific gloves, eye protection, and hearing protection are part of the daily routine. Specialized equipment, such as arc flash gear and fall protection systems, is used when required by the scope.

Using Technology and Processes to Stay Ahead

Safety grows stronger when it is documented and measured. BEI uses digital inspections, job hazard analyses, and incident prevention tracking to identify risks early. These systems help field teams make better decisions and allow leadership to respond quickly when conditions change.

Clear safety plans and corrective action processes support every crew. These tools are designed to exceed compliance and to reflect the industry’s best practices. The goal is simple. Create predictable conditions in a field that is never predictable.

Recognizing the Work Behind the Results

Independent evaluations confirm the strength of a safety culture. In 2025, BEI earned the Highwire Platinum Safety designation and the Damage Prevention Institute accreditation. OSHA also recognized BEI for its training programs, compliance, and documented safety practices on job sites. These evaluations review risk management, field performance, and safety documentation. They show that safety is not only a value. It is a measurable strength.

Why Safety Matters for Everyone

Safety protects employees. It protects clients. It protects schedules and installation quality. When jobsites run safely, work moves with clarity and purpose. Fewer disruptions. Fewer unknowns. Better results from start to finish.

Looking Ahead

The construction industry will continue to evolve. New technology, new energy systems, and new job site environments will bring new risks. Safety must evolve with them. BEI will continue to strengthen training, invest in tools, and reinforce the culture that delivered zero recordable incidents in 2025.

Our work depends on people. Their safety is the one thing we never compromise.
