Performance Through Discipline
Safety and quality are core operational requirements — not compliance exercises. At Plateau, disciplined processes, workforce training, and leadership engagement drive consistent performance across every site.
Safe and Sound
Through our Safe and Sound approach, safety is more than a discussion; it's a core principle which allows our employees to make the right choices for their well-being.
We align all of Plateau toward an injury-free work environment. Every team member, from field crews to senior leadership, shares responsibility for maintaining a culture where safety is embedded in daily operations.
Commitment
Safety is a core value — never sacrificed.
Empowerment
Employees are empowered to stop any operation they believe may be unsafe.
Communication
Continual communication about roles, responsibilities, and working safely each day.
Accountability
Reinforcing positive behavior and holding every team member to a high standard.
Sound Practices
Safety planned into daily operations with continual evaluation for hazardous conditions.
Training
Comprehensive training for managers, supervisors, and employees to make the right decisions.
A 0.72 EMR reflects a disciplined, field-driven safety culture that protects people, minimizes risk, and keeps projects moving without disruption. The Experience Modification Rate (EMR) measures a company's workers' compensation claims history against the industry average. A rating below 1.00 indicates fewer and less severe claims than typical.
Safety in Practice
Disciplined processes embedded into every level of daily operations.
Supervisors and managers perform daily safety observations and audits to track trends and implement preventive procedures.
On-site JHA meetings communicate job site conditions, site-specific hazards, and tasks to be performed each day.
All company vehicles are equipped with GPS units tracking speed, harsh driving events, and location with real-time management alerts.
OSHA 30-hour, Trenching & Excavation, Confined Space, Silica Exposure, CPR, First Aid, and hands-on field training.
Precision at Every Phase
Quality is built into every stage of our operations — from preconstruction planning through project closeout.
Preconstruction Planning
Detailed site analysis, constructability reviews, and phasing strategies before ground is broken.
Field Verification
Continuous GPS-guided grading verification and surveying to meet exact specifications.
Documentation
Comprehensive daily reporting, as-built records, and quality documentation throughout the project.
Client Coordination
Proactive communication with owners, engineers, and general contractors to resolve issues before they impact schedule.
Every year we focus on ways to improve our safety from pre-construction planning to on-site meetings each and every day.
