At Colas USA,
we take great pride in our culture of safety – Goal Zero. Throughout our national and international network, we have developed a collection of attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors that influence how we work and how we determine safety performance.
Throughout our organization, each business unit is on a similar safety culture-improvement journey. What is important is we all remain committed to the same goal – preventing serious injuries and fatalities everywhere. We have worked together to maintain a safe work environment and culture that keeps all of our workers, contractors, and the general public safe.
There is no job so important, or service so urgent, that we cannot take the time to work safely. Our safety processes have been refined so our employees and their families can have peace of mind that they will do great work, safely. Together, we can achieve Goal Zero.
