Safety first culture built on teamwork

Making safety central to our culture and how we do business

At Miller Valentine Construction, safety is more than just a series of boxes to be checked. It is a team endeavor that’s tightly woven into our culture and fundamental to how we do business. On every project, we collaborate with our associates, partners and clients to anticipate, identify and eliminate any risks, workplace and job site hazards and unsafe conditions. Our number one priority is ensuring that everyone goes home at the end of the day in the same or in better condition than when they arrived. Maintaining job sites that are free of incidents and injuries also reduces the risk for our clients and enables us to stay on schedule and within budget. As a team, we strive to constantly improve our safety program by incorporating emerging best practices and new technologies that ensure we stay sharp, and continuously raise the bar on safety with each project we undertake.

OSHA designation

Miller Valentine Construction is uncompromising when it comes to the safety of our jobsites, our associates and our subcontractors. OSHA compliance is the foundation for our comprehensive safety management program that we built in partnership with our subcontractors to ensure we maintain the highest standards for safety. Our embrace of a higher standard for safety is reflected in our OSHA Voluntary Protection Program partner “Star” level designation, their highest recognition for contractors with superior safety programs.
