Safety Accountable

Staying Accountable Means Staying Safe

We encourage every employee at Red Cedar Steel to ensure the #1 focus of every project is maintaining a safe work environment from start to finish. We have one of the lowest EMRs in the industry thanks to exceptional teamwork, mentorship, and accountability. Mistakes aren’t met with punishment – but instead with a root-cause analysis of how to prevent the same mistake again. This is how we promote honesty, integrity, and safe job sites.
