Safety
We are a company of builders who respect each other and our business partners. We strive to achieve zero injuries, incidents or accidents on every project, every day.
Award-winning Zero Injury Culture
Messer is committed to creating and maintaining a Zero Injury culture. We live every day by our core safety values:
We believe no job, task or schedule is more important than the health and safety of people on or near our jobsites.
We are responsible for and take action to ensure our own safety and the safety of those around us.
We will return every person home to their families safely each day.
In 2025, Messer took second in the Associated General Contractors of America’s Construction Safety Excellence Awards, competing in the 2.5 million or more work hours division. Messer has been a finalist in the CSEA four times in five years and a Build America winner five times in eight years. This means when you work with Messer, you are working with one of the safest firms in the nation, year after year.
SAFETY IN ACTION
Messer 5S Program
5S is one of the key components of our Zero Injury culture. By eliminating slips, trips and falls from poor housekeeping, we can achieve more consistent safety results on all of our projects. The 5S program includes:
Sort: Just-in-time deliveries
Straighten: Organized material and equipment storage
Shine: Continuous daily cleanup
Standardize: Color-coded delivery process
Sustain: Composite broom crew
Construction Safety Week
Reinforcing our safety best practices and recognizing all that our teams do to protect each other on our jobsites through stand-downs, toolbox talks, demonstrations, training, trivia, giveaways, appreciation meals and more.
Messer's management has been wonderful
with notifying me of project completion and having me perform a walk through prior to my infection control commissioning. It's very important that the construction site has been appropriately cleaned before any of our patients use that area, and Messer is well aware of that. All of their associates have proven to me that they take safety seriously, and I can't thank them enough for that. I have always enjoyed working with Messer associates and they've shown me that safety and infection prevention are high priorities on their list. For that I am very grateful."
