Our Commitment to Safety
At JD Long Masonry, safety isn’t just a requirement—it’s a core value. From the very first day on the job, every team member is immersed in a culture where protecting people comes before everything else.
Before stepping onto a job site, each new hire completes a comprehensive, masonry-specific safety orientation, drawing on standards and best practices from OSHA, EM-385, MCAA, our insurance partners, and the expertise of our seasoned workforce. Safety is not just taught once—it’s reinforced daily through training, supervision, and accountability.
Our supervisors take part in monthly and ongoing web-based safety training, ensuring they remain current on industry regulations, emerging risks, and proven best practices. In addition, JD Long conducts regular safety audits on every job site, helping us uphold our strict standards and achieve our ongoing goal: zero accidents, zero compromises.
