Having this information and deploying it correctly reduces the potential for negative trends like increases in workers’ compensation claims, which can have a negative impact on the company’s experience modification rate. This method has been effective for the last five years, and the company strives for continuous improvement.

Omaha, Nebraska

An E&K project manager says the company safety culture involves a shared outlook, attitude, values, morals, goals and customs.


The E&K safety culture emphasizes a top-to-bottom buy-in that the safety of every employee is always the top priority.


The E&K way is to not only look out for your own safety, but to watch over fellow team members, speak up when a hazardous situation is seen, understand that each team member can stop work in unsafe conditions, continue to build strong safety habits, look beyond the immediate area, and ensure everyone gets home safely.
