Built for
Peace of Mind
We strive to ensure that everyone onsite returns home safe at the end of the day in the same, or better condition, than they arrived.
SAFETY IS AT THE CORE OF OUR COMPANY CULTURE.
Safety is tightly woven into each step of our process. We collaborate with you to identify and eliminate any risks and hazards that may be associated with your project before construction begins. Our commitment to providing safe job sites is paramount for the success of our team and subcontractors. We strive to ensure that everyone onsite returns home safe at the end of the day in the same, or better, condition than they arrived.

OSHA VOLUNTARY PROTECTION PROGRAM “STAR”
Ferguson’s dedication to safety is backed by our participation in the OSHA Voluntary Protection Program “Star” rating since 2004.
Voluntary Protection Program ratings are achieved through consistently maintaining outstanding safety standards that control hazards and protect workers throughout the workplace. Ferguson has worked diligently to make sure that we have exceeded VPP’s four elements: Management Leadership & Employee Involvement, Worksite Analysis, Hazard Prevention & Control, and Safety & Health Training.
We are self-sufficient in our ability to control workplace hazards and have continued to limit workplace illnesses and injuries below the national average.
