At MMI Industrial & Steel, safety is at the heart of everything we do. It’s not just about protecting our employees—it’s also about ensuring that every project is executed in a reliable, efficient way that is worthy of our customers’ trust.
Our Safety Program presents key milestones that are designed to enhance the customer experience and ensure project success, while also empowering us to maintain high standards of innovation and excellence. In 2024, we were able to achieve these milestones in meaningful ways that translated into real-world benefits for our team and our clients.
Here are a few examples of how these practices led to a safe and successful year for MMI.
1. Empowering Superintendents and Foremen as Safety Leads
We expanded the roles of our Superintendents and Foremen, positioning them as Safety Leads on our job sites. This strategic shift creates a more integrated and efficient approach to safety management. By ensuring that safety protocols are embedded in daily operations and allowing experienced leaders to actively drive a safety culture, we were able to reduce incident delays and improve jobsite coordination.
Customer Benefits:
- Fewer project disruptions: A proactive focus on incident prevention helped keep projects on schedule.
- On-site expertise: Customers had increased confidence in project execution, knowing that safety was in the hands of experienced, on-site leaders.
- Improved work environment: A safer and more organized work environment led to improved customer compliance metrics, strengthening MMI’s reputation as a trustworthy partner.
2. Growing Our Safety Team
In 2024, we responded to the growing complexity of our projects by adding four additional dedicated safety personnel to our team. This increased our ability to oversee complex operations and address safety challenges in real time. Additionally, this expansion sets us up for future success, ensuring that every project is supported by dedicated safety expertise and strict compliance.
Customer Benefits:
- Enhanced efficiency: More personnel means quicker resolution when safety hazards arise, keeping workflow uninterrupted.
- Confidence in compliance: Customers had increased confidence in MMI’s ability to meet all industry safety requirements.
- Greater relational trust: A larger safety team demonstrates a commitment to safety and reduces liability concerns.
3. Achieving OSHA Training Goals
This year, we focused on having all personnel complete OSHA 10 and OSHA 30 training, in order to elevate safety competency across the board. These certifications not only raised our team’s awareness of potential risks, but also empowered them to identify and mitigate those risks while also staying compliant with industry standards.
Customer Benefits:
- Higher-quality work: With a team dedicated to accident prevention and safety-first precision, projects proceeded with an even greater focus on quality and efficiency.
- Streamlined workflow: Fewer safety-related interruptions meant seamless project execution from start to finish.
- Peace of mind: Customers benefited from the knowledge that skilled professionals were leading each and every project.

These milestones are more than internal achievements—they demonstrate our unwavering commitment to delivering value to our customers.
Our commitment to safety leads to:
- Fewer delays
- Fewer liabilities

Ultimately, each of these things contributes to the value MMI’s clients get from working with us. Prioritizing safety allows us to focus on what matters most: helping our clients make the most of their investments so they can make progress toward their goals.
