Putting Safety First: How ARMI is Celebrating National Safety Month

June is National Safety Month—a time to shine a spotlight on the importance of safety in every aspect of our lives. At ARMI, safety isn’t just a box we check; it’s a cornerstone of how we work, build, and support our team and clients. This month, we’re taking extra steps to highlight and strengthen our safety culture.

Our Safety Initiatives at ARMI:
At ARMI, we’re proud of our proactive approach to safety. Here’s how we’re making sure safety stays front and center this June—and beyond:

Monthly Toolbox Talks:
Every month our teams start with focused discussions on different safety topics. From ladder safety to proper PPE usage, these toolbox talks encourage everyone to think about safety in their daily tasks.

Updating and Reviewing Safety Protocols:
National Safety Month is a perfect time to review our safety procedures, ensuring they’re up-to-date and aligned with best practices. We’re refreshing training materials and making sure everyone understands our safety expectations.

PPE Compliance & Accountability:
Our Foremen play a key role in upholding safety standards by ensuring team members are properly equipped with PPE on the jobsite and holding their crews accountable every day.

Equipment Safety Audits:
Routine checks on tools and heavy equipment help prevent mechanical failures and unsafe operation.

New Hire Safety Orientation:
All new employees go through an in-depth onboarding process to understand our safety culture from day one.

Safety Metrics that Matter: Our EMR

  • Industry-Leading Safety Record:
    ARMI currently holds an EMR of 0.80, which is well below the industry average of 1.0. This metric reflects our consistent focus on preventing injuries and maintaining a safe work environment.

  • Why EMR Matters:
    A lower EMR isn’t just a number—it’s proof that our safety protocols are working. It directly impacts project costs, client confidence, and most importantly, employee well-being.

  • How We Keep It Low:
    Through a combination of ongoing training, daily safety checks, leadership accountability, and employee involvement, we continue to protect both our team and our reputation.

Why It Matters:
At ARMI, we believe safety is the foundation of trust and teamwork. By prioritizing safety, we protect what matters most—our people and our projects.
