Leading in Safety, Quality, Risk Management, and Data Security
We always put the good of our people and partners first.
Our safety culture is supported by a comprehensive health and safety program. Led by an integrated team of health and safety professionals, this program includes mandatory SAFEStart new hire training, ongoing supervisor training, project-specific safety planning, and pre-shift safety meetings.
Every Ames team member plays a role in delivering quality projects, from implementing our Quality Management System to continuously improving every aspect of our work.
Through robust risk management, Ames identifies risk, develops mitigation strategies, and tracks risk through preconstruction and construction until it is eliminated.
We uphold data security with a broad cybersecurity strategy that includes ongoing training, secure devices, and internal controls.
