Today marks the start of Safety Week, and we’re thrilled to dive into our first topic: Personal Ownership. At MWE, safety isn’t just a priority – it is a core value ingrained in everything we do. Personal ownership means each one of us takes responsibility for our actions, decisions, and surroundings to ensure a safe work environment for ourselves and the team. Whether it’s double-checking equipment, following proper procedures, or speaking up about potential hazards, every action counts in creating a culture of safety. Let’s kick off Safety Week with a commitment to personal ownership and a collective dedication to safety excellence! #SafetyWeek #WorkplaceSafety #TeamSafety #MegawattElectrical #ConstructionSafetyWeek

Working safely in our industry 30, 40, 50 years ago was much different than it is today. -- Of course you always want to be #safe, but back in the day you did what was needed to get the job done. -- To be honest, this mentality is the backbone of what we do and why we're successful. -- However, in the industry today we are fortunate to have almost endless resources and equipment to "engineer-out" the risk and keep ourselves and others safe on the job. -- With these resources, there's no need to jeopardize safety in the name of getting the job done. -- Today, we can have our cake and eat it, too. #valuesafety #throwbackthursday
