More Than a Mandate. A MINDSET.

At Shawmut, safety is more than a priority—it’s a core value deeply embedded in our culture. Our proactive approach to creating a safe work environment allows our teams to show up even better than the day before.

Actively Drive a Safe and Injury-free Environment

Safety is and will always be our number one priority. To help us reach our goal of zero incidents, we’ve created a culture of safety that goes above and beyond what’s mandated—fueled by innovation and continuous improvement, powered by technology, and focused on total worker health.

Technology & Innovation

A World-Class Safety Program

Shawmut integrates cutting-edge technology into every level of our safety program. We continually test and implement new tools and platforms through our Technology Pilot Program, allowing us to find the best safety solutions that help drive engagement, digitize processes, and collect data to drive us closer to zero incidents. Shawmut has also developed a customized safety dashboard that uses AI-driven technology to provide real-time project safety performance, enabling the proactive identification and mitigation of potential risks. These resources allow our team to pinpoint and deploy the additional resources and support needed before an incident occurs. 

Total Worker Health

A Culture of Care and Safety

Shawmut has taken innovative steps to address the construction industry’s critical mental health challenges. Our pioneering Total Worker Health program includes company-wide mental health initiatives like our Culture of Care Toolbox Talks and Mental Health & Wellness Leadership Group, providing resources and conversations to share resources and support. This is in addition to Shawmut’s health benefits, which include free and confidential employee assistance programs that offer short-term counseling and referrals—available 24/7. 

Shawmut’s holistic approach to safety and well-being goes beyond compliance. We aim to create an environment where every individual thrives both on and off the jobsite. Through continuous innovation and a deep commitment to our people, we set a new standard for safety and well-being in the construction industry and beyond.
