“MITCHELL ENGINEERING considers the safety of its employees, community members, and other project participants as its top priority.”

We are committed to the concept of “zero injury” as an operational goal.  The expectation throughout our workforce is zero lost time for injuries.  This can be achieved through: Pre-project/pre-task planning, safety orientation and training, managing subcontractor safety, effective accident investigation, substance abuse programs, and safety incentive programs.

It is the policy of our company that safety and health are integral and essential parts of our operations.  Our safety and health philosophy is based on the following principles:

  • Employees are an INVALUABLE RESOURCE to the company and their safety and well-being are essential to its continued success.
  • Accidents are MANAGEABLE and the occurrence of an accident means that we have not effectively managed our people and resources.
  • ALL EMPLOYEES play a role in their own safety and the safety of those working around them.
  • MANAGEMENT will be responsive to the expressed safety concerns of employees.
  • SAFETY is a major concern in a successful project.
