SAFETY THROUGH HUMAN PERFORMANCE.
At S&B, learning and improvement are essential. That's why we integrate Human and Organizational Performance (HOP) principles to strengthen our safety program. HOP helps us build the capacity for safe work, fosters trust and open communication, and creates a foundation for continuous improvement across the company.
S&B recognizes that there is a science to human error. Our systematic, results-based approach enhances safety by identifying and addressing underlying factors contributing to unsafe work events. We understand that both environment and systems can influence behavior and outcomes, not just the people behind them.
Through S&B’s culture and commitment to the people we serve, we help ensure S&B achieves safety-critical success factors – and that our team members go home safely to their families at the end of each day.
Our safety program in action.
When you visit an S&B jobsite, our commitment to safety is clear, but don't take our word for it. Our safety program and initiatives have been celebrated consistently by leading industry organizations.

OSHA VOLUNTARY PROTECTION PROGRAM.
S&B is part OSHA's Voluntary Protection Program (VPP), which is the premier recognition of a company's safety and health management programs and systems. This demonstrates to the industry that our safety program and worksites meet the highest standards.
Of hundreds of thousands of U.S. companies, approximately 2,000 have been accepted into VPP. We’re proud to be in this group, and we have gained further distinction by being accepted as a Star Mobile Workforce, the highest achievement in VPP.
The mobile designation is significant. More than 90% of VPP memberships are for fixed sites, such as refineries, chemical plants and manufacturers. These sites typically require all onsite contractors to also become VPP. This has opened the door for many construction companies to receive the designation, but only for that fixed site.
S&B's VPP Star Mobile Workforce designation goes with us wherever we work. It is the highest level of confidence that we can give ourselves and our clients.
