May is mental health awareness month. As part of SSC's ongoing commitment to safety, the company has chosen to adopt a more broad definition of "safety" than what is traditionally practiced at most construction companies.
SSC has incorporated this broader definition of safety into the company's core values, which each employee is expected to embody.
Each SSC employee is responsible for keeping themselves, their co-workers and the public safe each day, and watching out for the physical and emotional well-being of each member of their team.
SSC chose to incorporate both physical and emotional well-being into the company's core values, so that employees learn to truly focus on maintaining both their body and mind, and so that the safety impact of mental wellness is considered each day.
This has helped SSC create a "caring culture" where employees look out for one another, and they are empowered to reach out to ask for help for themselves or others.
This is just one important aspect of SSC's comprehensive safety program, that is critical to ensuring each employee is physically and mentally healthy and ready to succeed in both their personal and professional lives each day.
