As a fourth-generation industry leader in heavy highway construction, asphalt manufacturing, and bridge construction, Ford Construction Company puts Safety at the forefront of every task from planning to completion.
We continually improve our processes, demonstrate leadership, and promote comprehensive proactive safety decisions as our company’s safety culture is vitally important. Employees at all levels must work diligently to execute the company’s policy of maintaining a safe and healthy work environment. This will ensure the continuous improvement of our company’s performance. Strictly adhering to all aspects of our safety program will result in our expectation of returning each and every employee home safely at the end of the day.
Having both strong safety culture and climate is vital in maintaining a successful safety program and contributes to the overall success of our company. Employees learn on their first day that safety and health are paramount to our success and integral to our company legacy.
Since the first Ford family-founded paving company in 1918, our safety culture and company legacy have always been rooted in our small-town values, work ethic, continuous improvement, and strong leadership.
