Leading in Safety, Quality, Risk Management, and Data Security
We always put the good of our people and partners first.
Our safety culture is supported by a comprehensive health and safety program. Led by an integrated team of health and safety professionals, this program includes mandatory SAFEStart new hire training, ongoing supervisor training, project-specific safety planning, and pre-shift safety meetings.
Every Ames team member plays a role in delivering quality projects, from implementing our Quality Management System to continuously improving every aspect of our work.
