Safety as a System

Safety as a Performance Multiplier

A.

At Blackwater Industries, safety isn’t a box to check, it’s a performance multiplier. Built into every process, it's a system that drives efficiencies to protect crews, keep schedules on track, budgets intact, and projects delivered without incident.

B.

Our Site-Specific Safety Plan (SSSP) provides a rigorous framework for accident prevention and compliance, ensuring that every crew, client, and community we serve is protected at every stage of fabrication and installation.

C.

We’re ranked in the state’s top 10% for safety performance by the WA Dept. of Labor with a 0.90 EMR. An EMR (Experience Modification Rate) is the metric used to grade a company’s injury and claim history against the industry average.
