Our Commitment to an Incident & Injury-Free Workplace

Our approach to safety is different; for DECCO, safety is a passion, not an obligation. Recognizing that EH&S best practices will continue to evolve, we lead by example and strive to have increased involvement from those closest to the risk and the work.

A Leader in Safety

We acknowledge the potential dangers in our work and believe every accident can be avoided through proactive planning, training, effective communication and awareness. Our award-winning safety programs safety management systems emphasize communication and investment, fostering a culture of Safety Accountability From Everyone (SAFE).

DECCO is proactive when it comes to safety and we use every opportunity to refocus and avoid complacency and promote a zero-injury safety culture. We are committed to being incident and injury-free, valuing every individual for who they are. Strong relationships are key to our success, and we aim to ensure everyone returns home safely to their families each day.

Our dedication to safety has earned DECCO several accolades from industry leaders and multiple safety agencies. We are proud of maintaining an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) well below the industry average while logging hundreds of thousands of employee-partner safe work hours. In turn, our investment in safety benefits our clients as well, who avoid safety-related impacts to their projects or facilities and rest assured of their staff and visitorsā€™ safety.
