Safety Brings Us Home?: A Cornerstone of Our Company Culture

At Ideal Contracting, we've worked diligently to create and foster a culture where everyone is committed to safety. This is the central idea behind our trademarked tagline "Safety Brings Us Home?." Over our twenty-six years in business, we've established a reputation for prioritizing our people and their safety over anything else, and we continue to build on that reputation.

As a leader in construction safety, Ideal Contracting is always looking for ways to improve and better our company and the industry at large. We're proud to have implemented forward-thinking equipment and practices in our firm that not only make our team safer but also help set an example for our industry partners.

Setting a New Standard

One of those forward-thinking investments was our company-wide transition to ANSI Class 2 compliant fall protection. In making this move, Ideal Contracting has enhanced our ability to keep our men and women in the field safe as they perform sensational work on projects across the country. Read more about our transition to ANSI Class 2 compliant fall protection equipment and why it supports Ideal Contracting's commitment to continuous improvement.

"We strongly encourage more companies to take a closer look at their fall protection equipment use and the application of that equipment by their employees in the field. There are some limiting factors that will need to be overcome before this becomes their new normal. One of those factors is simply the lack of knowledge surrounding these different types of fall protection and what makes the Class 2 devices a more well-rounded option for tradesmen and tradeswomen in the construction industry. FallTech was a phenomenal resource for the Ideal Contracting team as we navigated the research and implementation of the Class 2 fall protection."

Recognizing Excellence in Safety Leadership

If you haven't seen or heard of Ideal Contracting's Safety Champion of the Month? program, you are missing out! Each month, our team recognizes a deserving individual for going above and beyond in their support of safety. There are countless members of our team who act as champions of safety every day, and we've decided to honor them in a big way.

Our safety champions are nominated each month by their fellow team members. If awarded the title of "Safety Champion of the Month," these individuals will proudly sport the Ideal Contracting safety champion belt around their job sites in recognition of their achievement. Whether in the office or out in the field, you play a vital role in the safety of our industry, and it is everyone's responsibility to do their part and continue building a brighter future in construction.

Empowering Our Workforce with Essential Support

Adding to the composition of Ideal Contracting's safety culture is our belief that everyone deserves critical resources that support their mental health and overall well-being. This has led our company to invest in several employee resource programs with the capabilities to support everyone within our organization, including our tradespeople and their families. Modern Assistance is one of these programs, and their steadfast approach is supported by a team of experts who provide personalized support services directly to our team members at all levels.

Ideal Contracting has also instituted a "fatigue management" program, which empowers our team to strategically allocate time away from the job site for our trade personnel. The daily grind of the men and women who support projects across the country is a testament to their dedication, but we realize that no one should be expected to work long days and weeks without the necessary time off. That's why at Ideal Contracting, we prioritize time away from our work so that our team members can spend much-needed quality time with their families.

We believe that a strong safety culture is key to success in construction. It's why Ideal Contracting is committed to continuously finding ways to better ourselves while simultaneously pushing the industry standard forward. Our people are the backbone of our company, and it is inherent that we do everything in our power to ensure that safety brings us all home every day.
