Safety

Safety stands as the most important of our six core values at BT! We don’t just talk about safety—we live it every day through actions that protect our most valuable asset: our people.

Our Safety-First Culture

BT takes pride in the strong safety record we have maintained since our first project in 1980. We build our safety culture on Employee Empowerment. We encourage and expect everyone to have a voice and speak up!

Our Safety-First Approach

We are passionate about safety at BT! Every team member, from the field to the office, puts safety at the heart of everything we do.

We begin every meeting with safety—making it our first priority in all we do.

We start every workday with a JHA (Job Hazard Analysis)—ensuring we identify and address hazards before work begins.

We ensure every visitor receives a comprehensive safety briefing before entering any job site—because everyone’s well-being matters.

We genuinely care about all our team members, regardless of their tenure. Our expectation is simple: everyone arrives safely and returns home safely every day.

Building a Culture of Excellence

The longevity of our employees allows us to maintain the strong safety culture that’s critical to the BT Way—doing it right, with excellence, every single time!
