Safety Commitment

For us, the most important thing is allowing our employees to return home healthy and safe. At Mountain States Fence, we are committed to providing a safe environment through administrative controls, training, and a strong company safety culture. Safety is an everyday part of our lives. In fact, since 2021, we have had zero injuries. That's something to be incredibly proud of. Safety is a core value of our company, and we will provide a safe work environment for all our employees.

Continuous Training

Our employees begin their safety training on their very first day with Mountain States Fence. We have an orientation program that encompasses construction safety, safety procedures, and hazard communication. As their careers progress, our employees receive craft training emphasizing safe behavior. In addition, we hold weekly toolbox meetings and "near-miss" discussions that help us eliminate potential hazards.

We have been given awards from the Associated General Contractors (AGC), the Utah Labor Commission, and the Associated Builders & Contractors (ABC), which awarded us the Diamond STEP Award for 2021-2022. We have also received the National Safety Merit Award numerous times!
