Wendell, NC, October 2024-
Thank you to JE Dunn Construction for presenting SPC Mechanical with their 2024 Safety Excellence Award!
“While working on multiple 2023 projects with JE Dunn, we performed over 75,000 trade hours without having one recordable incident. I would like to thank our team for their safety efforts from the site leadership, safety department and of course all the tradesmen and tradeswomen that work so hard to get the job done and done safely.
SPC has been committed to safety from the beginning when Buren Williford started the company in 1965. Here at SPC we do not have a safety department for awards and accolades, but because it is the right thing to do for our workers and their families. One of our aspirational values states ‘We work safely, analyzing every activity with an eye toward doing it safely; if it cannot be done safely, It does not get done; everyone goes home one piece.’ That is not just on our walls or website, the SPC employees live that daily as they work. The safety department works closely with the employees on every job to make sure it gets done safely, every time.
The partnership between safety and the trade workers must be one of trust and respect. I must individually thank my safety team that worked on these jobs with JE Dunn. Pio Romero has been working with them as an On-site Safety Manager since we broke ground. He has worked hard to make sure that the safety rules that are needed to work on complex jobs are discussed everyday with the crews. Paul Boudreaux, Brian Walls and Bennett Allen have supported the jobs by performing weekly safety walks, training and hazardous task assessments from their roles as Field Safety Managers. Our site leadership and the executive team at SPC deserve to be mentioned as a group that has unquestionably supported all we need to complete our safety mission. Lastly, the boots on the ground tradesmen and tradeswomen that have every opportunity to cut a corner for sake of time but choose to do it safely and look out for everyone around them. Without their support we could not do what we do to achieve these types of results.
The SPC executive team and I thank you all for a job done well and of course safely so everyone makes it home in one piece!”
-Sean Purcell, SPC Safety Director
