Safety is not a program. It is the standard by which we build.

We believe every person who shows up for JGM deserves to go home even better than they arrived. That commitment drives us to engineer safety into the work before it starts, control it during execution, and continuously improve it after every project closes. From apprentice to executive, safety is owned at every level and embedded in every decision.

We don’t react to risk — we design it out. We don’t treat safety as a box to check — we treat it as a system, a standard, and a shared responsibility. Our people are trained, empowered, and expected to speak up, stop work, and protect one another. That is the JGM way.

Uncompromising safety is not just a core value. It is the proof of who we are.

The Proof Is In the Numbers

At JGM, safety training is not reserved for the field — it is an organization-wide commitment. All employees, including office staff, are required to earn their OSHA 10 certification. Every supervisor holds their OSHA 30. And nearly half of our supervisors have gone further, achieving MSHA 46 and MSHA 48 certifications as well.

This is how we build a safety culture that runs deep — from the job site to the front office, from the newest hire to senior leadership.

Meet Our Safety Team

At JGM, safety is everyone's responsibility — and we have the team to prove it.

Our dedicated Safety department sets the standard, but safety doesn’t stop there. Across every department at JGM, representatives serve on our Safety Committee — a group our people have proudly dubbed the Hazard Hunters. Together, they are the eyes, ears, and voice of safety throughout the entire organization.

The Hazard Hunters meet monthly to identify continuous improvement opportunities, review emerging risks, and ensure safety protocols are upheld in every corner of the company — from the fab shop floor to the front office. This cross-functional structure means no department operates in isolation, and no hazard goes unaddressed.

Safety at JGM isn’t managed from the top down. It’s built from within.
