Value Every Voice: Construction Safety Week 2024

VICTOR "LUCAS" LUCATERO

Labor General Foreman

"Building an all-in team effort is crucial to have a very safe and successful project. This is why I express to my field team the importance of safety. My favorite safety quote for the crew is, 'If you see something, say something.' The more we emphasize safety to our crew, they will embrace it and eventually go to other projects and be the ones preaching McCarthy's safety culture. At the end of the day, we value our McCarthy team and want to make sure every person goes back to their loved ones."

ERNESTO ZUNIGA

Labor General Foreman

"Making sure we’re safe is important as safety should always come first. We need to make a place where everyone feels like they can speak up safely. We want everyone to feel like they’re part of the team and that their ideas matter. When we listen to each other and keep safety in mind, we’re looking out for each other and making things better for everyone."

SONJA ROSS

Solar General Foreman

"Safety is not just being responsible for my wellbeing, but it’s also ensuring those that I lead and mentor have the same passion for their safety and wellbeing."

EDUARDO GAMEZ

Carpenter Foreman

"When it comes to safety, no shortcuts should ever be taken. I always tell my crew that if you see a safety issue, you own it. Everyone is a safety person at McCarthy, which is amazing knowing we can stop work being performed if it is unsafe. No matter what position you are in the company, our goal is to have every employee go home safe to their family every day.”

EDGAR RAMIREZ

Assistant Superintendent

"For me and the company I work for, safety isn’t just a word, it is essential to create a safe and effective work environment that at the same time reflects the excellent work culture in which I am involved in every day."
