Safety
Our Commitment to Safety
“DIG is dedicated to providing its employees and those of its contractors and subcontractors a safe working environment…The practice of diligence, good judgment and common sense by all project team members helps to create an environment in which the rate of incidents is substantially reduced.” – David A. Burnley, Sr., President, Devon Industrial Group
At DIG, the safety and well-being of our employees, subcontractors, clients and communities is a top priority. Since our foundation, we have been devoted to building a culture that promotes an injury-free environment. To do that, we have developed extensive training and education modules designed to minimize and eliminate personal injury, property damage and all associated costs. These ongoing programs provide our people and our partners with the knowledge and resources they need to keep themselves and each other safe.
The DIG safety goal on every project is the same:
