FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Columbus, MS – Gregory Construction announces a meaningful safety milestone: more than 1 million man-hours worked without a recordable incident across its active job sites.
A recordable incident, as defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), includes a work-related injury or illness requiring medical treatment beyond first aid, loss of consciousness, days away from work, restricted duty, job transfer, or a significant diagnosis from a healthcare professional.
Reaching one million hours without a recordable incident reflects Gregory Construction’s Culture of Safety while answering civil and concrete challenges with expert solutions
“At Gregory Construction, safety is a core value rooted in how we care for our people,” said Aaron Gregory, Founder and President. “Every day, our teams look out for one another and take pride in doing the job the right way.”
This achievement goes beyond tracking lost-time injuries. Recordable incidents represent a broader measure of workplace safety, making this milestone a strong indicator of consistent field performance.
With hundreds of employees working across multiple sites at any given time, Gregory’s teams perform complex excavation, utility, and heavy civil work daily. Maintaining this level of safety requires preparation, accountability, and a shared commitment to protecting one another.
The company’s safety culture emphasizes proactive planning, ongoing training, clear communication, and leadership in the field. Crews are encouraged to identify risks early and take action to ensure safe execution at every stage of a project.
“This accomplishment demonstrates that safety at Gregory Construction is more than a policy or a form to sign. It is a core value that is actively lived out every day. Our company emphasizes an understanding of safety, where awareness, training, and planning are prioritized to protect every team member. It shows that Gregory truly places the safety of its people at the center of everything we do.”
