Two million man-hours without a lost-time accident.
Break that down for one person working alone, and it comes out to 83,333 days. Nearly 12,000 weeks. More than two lifetimes. That’s how long Gregory crews have worked without a lost-time accident, and it’s the clearest evidence we’ve got that our people watch out for each other.
That number is a representation of the team members who did the work and looked out for one another day in and day out. Here at Gregory Construction, we believe safety is built through decisions made on the jobsite. Whether it’s a team member using their stop work authority to address a hazard, or a supervisor asking the right questions before work begins. Moments just like these happen every day, and they are what made this milestone possible.
A Team Commitment
Reaching 2 million safe man-hours takes every person on the team.
It starts with our field crews and supervisors, but it also involves our project teams and support staff; everyone plays a role in creating a safe work environment. The people doing the work understand the challenges of the job, and they also understand the responsibility that comes with it.
Safety is our #1 core value because our people truly matter to us. We believe our commitment to safety goes hand in hand with our biblical principle to look out for and care for each other.
As Gregory Construction has grown, welcomed new team members, and taken on larger projects across the country, our expectations have stayed the same. Plan the work. Communicate clearly. Look out for your team.
“We’re a team of more than 700 now, working across more than 15 job sites around the country. That kind of growth is a good problem to have, and it’s proof that our commitment to safety and excellence is what keeps bringing us more work. We’ve already got commitments for new phases on existing projects and work with brand-new clients, which was one of our goals for 2026. I’m excited to see what the second half of the year brings for our people and our families.”
— Justin Harris, Chief Operating Officer
The goal is simple: everyone goes home safely.
Recognized for Our Safety Commitment
Our focus on safety was also recognized with the ABC STEP Platinum Award.
This award reflects the systems, training, and processes that support our teams in the field. More importantly, it reflects the employees who put those standards into practice every day.
A strong safety culture doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from people who take ownership, hold each other accountable, and make the right choice even when no one is watching.
The Work Continues
2 million safe man-hours is a milestone worth celebrating, but the standard stays the same.
Every project brings new challenges. Every jobsite requires focus. Every employee has a responsibility to protect themselves and the people around them.
“This milestone means more than a number. It’s every person who’s stopped to address a hazard, asked a question when something didn’t look right, or spoken up for a coworker instead of letting it slide. Reaching two million hours doesn’t mean the job is done. Every time we step on a site, we owe it to each other, and to our families, to stay focused and keep working the way that got us here.”
— Austin Davis, Corporate Safety Manager
We’re proud of what our team has accomplished and grateful for the commitment behind it.
Thank you to every Gregory Construction employee who continues to make safety part of the work, every single day.
Safety is a commitment we carry into every job.
