AWAIR PROGRAM

Mission Construction is committed to providing a healthy and safe workplace for all employees and trade partners. Managers, supervisors, and employees share responsibility for implementing this program, and adequate resources are provided to maintain compliance with all safety and health requirements. Our overall goal is to reduce accidents and injuries through proactive planning, effective communication, accountability, and continuous improvement. Josh McCullough serves as the Safety Director and reports directly to the Company President. Site supervisors oversee daily safety and health conditions at each worksite.

The Safety Director manages training programs, site audits, PPE distribution, and annual program evaluation. Site supervisors conduct regular inspections based on the Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), schedule toolbox talks, and enforce safety compliance. Employees and trade partners are expected to follow all safety policies, participate actively in training, and report hazards. Trade partners must comply with Mission Construction’s safety requirements and provide the required documentation before beginning work on-site.

For 2026, Mission Construction has established comprehensive SMART goals—specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound—to strengthen safety performance.

Goal 1: Trade Partner Safety Compliance

All trade partners must submit a current AWAIR program and, when necessary, a SiteSpecific Safety Plan (SSSP) before mobilizing to any project. These documents must include emergency procedures and project-specific hazard controls. Mission Construction will ensure that all documentation is reviewed and stored for superintendent access. The goal is to achieve 80% submission of required documents, with all items reviewed and filed prior to contractor work beginning. Compliance will be verified through quarterly audits, and the company aims to meet and sustain these requirements by year's end.

Goal 2A: Toolbox Talks & Routine Safety Activities

Toolbox talks will be expanded to include driving safety and clearer emergency response procedures, with a target of maintaining at least 90% participation in toolbox talks and biweekly site safety inspections across all active projects. These participation metrics will be tracked in Procore. Topic enhancements will be implemented by June, 2026, and participation targets must be consistently met from February through December 2026.

Goal 2B: Superintendent Development

Superintendent development is also prioritized. All superintendents must obtain their OSHA 30‑Hour Construction certification (if they don’t already have it) and attend biannual extended safety trainings focused on leadership, high‑risk activities, regulatory changes, and incident trends. OSHA‑30 completion must occur by September 30, 2026, and the extended sessions will be held, one in the first half and one in the second half of the year.

Goal 2C: Project Manager Training Requirements

Project Managers will complete the OSHA 10‑Hour Construction course taught internally by Safety Director Josh McCullough. In addition, they will receive training on how to evaluate Site-Specific Safety Plans and determine when an SSSP is required. OSHA‑10 completion and SSSP evaluation training will be conducted between August and December 2026.

Goal 2D: Carpenter Training Requirements

Carpenters will complete the annual MNOSHA-required training and attend quarterly hands-on safety sessions led by the Safety Director. These sessions will reinforce safe work practices, address seasonal hazards, and provide hands-on demonstrations for high‑risk tasks. Quarterly sessions will occur by March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 15, 2026, with attendance targets of at least 90%.

Hazard identification remains a core component of Mission Construction’s safety efforts. Supervisors will conduct frequent inspections using the site safety checklist on Procore as a reference. The Safety Director will perform random inspections and review findings with the superintendent.

Training, safety meetings, and documentation practices support the effectiveness of this program. Safety training occurs at hiring, and as needed thereafter. Toolbox talks and safety meetings are mandatory. Supervisors review hazard reports, audit findings, and near‑miss events with their teams. All accidents and near‑miss investigations are documented, and corrective actions are implemented promptly. Mission Construction uses Procore as its central platform for hazard reporting, documentation, incident and near‑miss reporting, JHA management, and training attendance records to support transparency and accountability.

Mission Construction conducts an annual review of the AWAIR program and formally documents how each required procedure—roles and responsibilities, communication, hazard identification and control, accident investigation, and enforcement—is being met. Results of this review inform program updates, and any changes are communicated to all affected employees.

Safety rule violations are handled under the company’s existing disciplinary framework, consistent with other policy areas such as drug abuse, absenteeism, and tardiness. Safety is a core requirement of employment at Mission Construction.

Mission Construction values its employees as its most important asset and remains committed to maintaining a strong safety culture. Through collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement, the company strives to provide a safe and healthy work environment for all workers and trade partners
