Culture of Safety


Walsh Brothers is Dedicated to Ensuring the Safety of Our Employees and All Who Work on or Near Our Project Sites.

The prevention of accidents and protection of property receives the full commitment, support, and participation by everyone at Walsh Brothers. Safety is a core value that starts with our executive team and flows through the entire organization.

The principles of safety and loss control reflect the determination by Walsh Brothers to prevent injuries to the general public and workers, and damage to property and equipment. Safety Always is a core value that is at the center of all decision-making. Walsh Brothers considers no phase or administration of greater importance than accident prevention, and asserts that accidents which result in personnel injury, damage to property and equipment represent needless waste and loss.

Walsh Brothers is proud of our employees and the quality of their work and equally proud of our excellent safety record over the years. Accordingly, we commit to advocating a strong Safety Program that provides for safety and health on the job, protection of property, maintenance of public safety, and education and compliance with occupational safety laws and regulations.

Our commitment is evident in many ways, with Walsh Brothers’ employees trained in first aid, CPR, hazardous materials handling, fall protection, OSHA 30-hour construction safety, and more. No employee or subcontractor works on any of our jobsites without being given the proper orientation in safety practices.

Walsh Brothers has been recognized by the Associated General Contractors of America as one of the safest contracting firms in the nation. We have consistently been recognized as one of the safest contractors in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and have been awarded year after year with top honors for our exemplary safety standing.
