      Integrity and Respect
Bechtel's culture is grounded in integrity and respect. At Bechtel this means adhering to the highest standards of ethical business culture. Our reputation for adhering to these standards is one of our most valuable assets. We stand by everything we do.

     Our Goal: Zero Accidents
Bechtel has a world-class safety program, and it pays off. Nearly 90 percent of our projects complete each year without a lost-time accident. Our philosophy is simple- every accident, and therefore every injury, is preventable.

Safety is always Bechtel's top priority- a value that is fundamental to our culture.

Bechtel has earned an industry-leading record of achieving zero lost-time incidents on 90 percent of our projects worldwide, representing more than 100 million work hours per year. Year after year, our safety performance is right at the top of our industry.

At Bechtel, we believe that every accident, and therefore every injury, is preventable, and we embed that philosophy into every Bechtel project through a combination of technical field procedures and ongoing training programs.

Our safety and health approach includes state-of-the-art safety data systems, computer-based training and a behavior-based safety program. Our commitment to zero accidents extends to every aspect of a project, from planning to completion, and from the boardroom to the field crew. Every employee has stop-work authority- if it's not safe, don't do it.

We also ask our subcontractors and partners to adopt our commitment to safety and health. The result is exceptional safety performance, even in hazardous work environments, severe weather, and remote locations.

Our dedication to safety helps keep workers safe, and it also pays off for our customers. Their operating costs go down and productivity goes up because less time is lost to accidents. They also frequently pay less for insurance.
