Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) is more than a program at DPR—it’s a foundational pillar of how we do business. DPR strives to have an evolving culture that raises the bar for the entire construction industry. Simply put: EHS is a value at DPR.
We integrate EHS into every phase of the project life cycle, from pursuit to closeout, and our teams measure and evaluate safety daily. We use a mobile audit system to collect and analyze raw data from each jobsite, which helps teams identify potential risks and develop valuable prevention plans.
Behind every safety statistic is a person. That’s why DPR’s approach to EHS centers on people.
We focus on competence, instilling and reinforcing safe behaviors throughout our company and our project teams. We provide the tools people need to make informed decisions, plan fully and identify incident root causes.
The result is a robust, value-based EHS program that looks upstream at leading indicators to produce results downstream.

The fundamentals of Environmental Health & Safety
DPR's EHS culture is based on the following seven fundamentals:
The correlation is clear: When clients participate in EHS efforts, project culture is stronger. To help achieve this goal, we ask our clients to:
- Prioritize health and safety when pre-qualifying contractors
- Ask questions, not only about injury rates and trends but also about how EHS standards and techniques are communicated between the office and field
- Recognize that, from a business standpoint, EHS goes hand-in-hand with quality, schedule and budget
- Meet regularly with project teams and actively participate in holding all members accountable

Awards &
Recognition
'We are all family here’ is what our DPR safety manager said and said it with such sincerity that everyone who worked on the project here still carries a sense of ‘Family’ on the job. DPR’s client-centric approach combined with genuine concern for the team and the project were a recipe for success. I sincerely hope that we have an opportunity to work together again in the future.
