Getting our people home safe, and your job done safely is our first goal. Everything else comes after that.
Baker Roofing has grown to be one of the largest roofing contractors in the nation. We have added divisions, and more locations, but most importantly, we have added lots of people that have become like family. We take care of our family and the best way we know how to do that in our industry is by keeping them safe and sending them home to their families each day.
We chose to develop a devoted safety team a few years back that would push us to set the standard for safety across all of our projects, whether we are working on a residential home or a commercial building. We are proud to have our safety team and are thankful for all that they do!
Below you’ll find our 26 Safety Fundamentals that correspond with our 26 Company Fundamentals. We believe that by allowing these fundamentals to guide our daily decisions on and off the job site, we are creating a safer work environment for every business, person, and trades group we come in contact with on the job. Thank you to all of the members of the Baker Safety Team! We are so thankful for the job you do.
