A “Safety First” mentality is an ongoing commitment at Vee-Jay. We believe a company’s culture and an employee’s attitude are crucial building blocks in developing this mentality. We are confident that the safety culture that our employees are subjected to, along with their great attitudes, is key in creating an overwhelmingly safe work atmosphere. Our employee’s safety is paramount!

It is our goal to ensure that each worker is in a safe work environment and has what is needed to work safely each day. It is our company’s goal to have “Zero Accidents” on all projects. We are working toward this goal through continuous training, education, along with compliance with the latest safety standards and procedures.

Being an Industry Leader in Safety is of utmost importance at Vee-Jay. The continual growth and prosperity of our company depends heavily on our sincere and honest commitment to Safety. This is a “top down” mentality, from the Owners to each employee. For this reason, the safety of every project is an integral part of the bidding, planning, and construction processes.
