Committed to Safety . . . for Ourselves and for the Maritime Community
In 2006, Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Company adopted the Incident- and Injury-Free (IIF) ethic for all of its operations, on all its vessels, at all its installations, and in all its offices. This means that we expect all who work for the company to govern their behavior first and foremost for safety. Personal safety is always the first priority.
Further, we advocate for safety at every opportunity in our relations with other organizations. We expect subcontractor and vendor personnel, when engaged on projects with us, to participate in the spirit and specifics of IIF. We do all we can to spread safety consciousness within our industry and throughout the maritime community, raising the spirit of IIF in meetings to increase safety awareness, making our safety materials freely available to all who express an interest.
