Bechtel is recognized as a leader in employee safety. In the course of developing and refining our safety program, we've helped set the standard for our industry.
Among our achievements:

Lighter-weight hard hats, better eye and face protection, and ergonomically improved tools and equipment. More on Bechtel's innovation in hard hats. | |

A full-body harness to protect employees working at heights exceeding 6 feet (1.83 meters). Our fall protection system has become an industry model, used by labor unions and other construction firms worldwide. | |

A people-based safety program that puts the responsibility for changing and eliminating unsafe practices in the hands of workers with strong support from project management. A back-injury prevention program of stretching exercise and training in lifting techniques that has substantially reduced back injury claims. |
