A Responsibility We Uphold Every Day

At Shimmick, safety is not just a practice—it’s a shared responsibility embedded in our culture and underpins everything we do. It’s how we protect our people, uphold our standards, and deliver with integrity.

Our prevention-focused approach is led by certified experts, reinforced through training and mentorship, and embraced by every member of our team. From project leadership to field crews, we each play a critical role in creating a safe environment—for ourselves, our colleagues, and our communities.
