Safety Is Not a Compliance Exercise

It is the first measure of whether a project succeeds. At GBI, a project that finishes on schedule with an injury is not a success, regardless of any other outcome.

The GBI-SHARE System

A Daily Habit. Not a Checklist

GBI-SHARE is not a training program. It is a daily operating habit built into every pre-task plan, every toolbox talk, every site interaction. Every meeting or day starts with a GBI-SHARE moment, a safety observation, near-miss, lesson learned, or recognition. This is not optional.

S
STOP

When something doesn't look right, you stop. You don't keep moving because it's inconvenient.

H
HELP

You assess the situation and identify what's needed.

A
ANALYZE

You look at the full picture before acting.

R
RECOMMEND

You speak up with a solution, not just a problem.

E
ENCOURAGE

You recognize safe behavior. You reinforce what good looks like.

Safety Performance

A Record That Speaks for Itself

Industry average TRIR consistently above 3.5 for comparable craft work. In 2023, our TRIR was 0.30, on nearly 1.5 million manhours, more than ten times safer than the industry standard.

Safety Principles

What We Believe

A Condition of Employment

Every person on a GBI site understands this before they start. Safety is not negotiable.

Right to Stop Work

Every employee has the right and responsibility to stop unsafe acts, without threat of retaliation.

Planned, Not Reactive

Safety is planned into every site, project, and task before work begins.

All Incidents Preventable

We do not accept the idea that injuries are part of the job. We plan accordingly.
