HazTek
Safety Starts Internally

Managing workplace safety is complex and presents many challenges. Well-intentioned companies often struggle with regulatory compliance, hazard identification and risk mitigation, which can result in adverse and often serious incidents in the workplace.

HazTek Safety Management’s mission is to enrich the health, safety and well-being of its employees, customers, and communities. The company offers a fresh perspective on keeping workers healthy and safe by making safety personal and emphasizing that a risk-free working environment stems from within. Ultimately, its employees are the heart and soul of the services clients receive.

HazTek is a full-service, objective safety partner founded in 1997. The company is known for its professional consulting services and premium safety training and is trusted for its effectiveness in keeping workers safe and healthy. HazTek believes that every accident is preventable through a combination of education, guidance, motivation and positive reinforcement. Their experienced staff of more than 300 safety consultants leverages their expertise to assist clients in developing best practices and achieving their health and safety goals.

“We are passionate about our mission and everything we do is in support of it,” says Steve Jones, President.

HazTek’s safety consulting and training services are predominantly centered on construction activities — primarily in the life sciences and mission critical/data center sectors. Construction is a highly hazardous industry where the work environments change on a daily basis, creating new risks and requiring a revised approach. Their clients range from Fortune 50 global organizations and international construction and engineering firms to smaller, more local contractors and subcontractors who are looking to build strong safety cultures.

With a wide range of services available to its customers — including full-time project safety managers, safety consulting, safety training, corporate safety management, fall safety solutions, and safety leadership workshops — HazTek would not be where it is today without its expert team of safety professionals. HazTek prides itself on the diverse experience and expertise of its team and firmly believes that it is what sets this company apart from competitors.

Many of its competitors have a temp agency or staffing model, while HazTek offers full-time positions and career opportunities for its employees. It offers highly competitive salaries, job security, great medical benefits, paid time off, opportunities for growth, and continuous training and education. Since 1997, President Steve Jones has made this a priority in an effort to find, attract and retain the most talented team of safety professionals in North America. For those who move on, HazTek hopes to have made a positive impact on their safety careers and helped them achieve their professional goals in the future.

In addition to the benefits mentioned above, HazTek also emphasizes and promotes a strong workplace culture. One way that the company fosters this strong workplace environment is by having open lines of communication with its workers, who are geographically spread across North America and often the only HazTek employees on their site. The company creates camaraderie and promotes teamwork through its team of project managers and Quality Assurance Coordinators who regularly reach out to team members and serve as a conduit for all employees to stay connected. There are also monthly team meetings where safety professionals can check in with colleagues working on different projects to share best practices and discuss important safety topics prevalent in the season.

Multiple client success stories show the company’s exceptional ability to transform safety management and leadership through its team members. In one instance, HazTek was approached by an experienced safety director who was recently hired by a rapidly growing data center owner. The safety director had a clear vision for the company’s safety program, but he lacked the in-house team necessary to execute the plan. He shared his objectives with the HazTek team and sought their advice and insights with similar clients. The safety director then leveraged HazTek’s vast in-house resources to operationalize his plan and to help his employer progress toward building a world-class safety culture.

HazTek’s strong internal safety culture, experienced staff, and commitment to caring for others are the foundation of its success. The team’s passion for safety is what makes HazTek the go-to partner for safety management services.
