OUR SAFETY

Safety Is Our Top Priority

At Berard, safety is not just a commitment—it’s a core value that drives everything we do. It is always integrated into our job planning, ensuring that every project prioritizes an injury-free workplace. We firmly believe that no business objective is so critical that it can justify compromising safety. To uphold this standard, Berard rigorously trains every employee on the proper operation of the equipment they will manage.

From the start, all field employees receive comprehensive training in forklift operations and rigging practices. For specialized equipment like SPMTs, operators undergo an intensive training program that includes both classroom instruction and extensive on-the-job practice. This meticulous approach ensures that every operator is highly skilled and prepared to execute their tasks safely and efficiently, reinforcing our commitment to operational excellence and workplace safety.

Our Mission

Our mission is to work as a unified team in the continuous pursuit of an injury-free workplace. Protecting our employees, customers, subcontractors, and the communities where we operate is our top priority. We are dedicated to minimizing risks and continually improving the safety of our operations.

We also believe that no business objective is so vital that it warrants compromising safety. Safety remains at the forefront of every project plan, and every employee is empowered with the responsibility and authority to stop any work deemed unsafe or improperly executed. At Berard, safety isn’t just a protocol—it’s a shared responsibility and a culture.
