How we got here
STOP THE STCKY® HISTORY
SAFETY BY CHOICE
For over 10 years our motto has been “Safety by Choice” because we don’t just do what’s required of us, we choose to go farther when it comes to jobsite safety to make sure our team members go home safe every day.
“Sundt’s safety program is unique because of the trust it builds between employee-owners. The safety culture is contagious; we genuinely want each other to be safe.”
– Eduardo Figueroa, Foreman
history of safety excellence
At Sundt, our journey is a steadfast commitment to protecting the well-being of our employees, trade partners, vendors, and members of the public.
Stop the STCKY was born out of a deep-rooted desire to address the inherent risks and challenges present in the construction industry. Recognizing that safety is not merely a goal to be achieved but a continuous journey of improvement, Sundt embarked on a mission to instill a culture of safety across all levels of our organization.
Over the years, Stop the STCKY has evolved into a way of life at Sundt—a comprehensive framework encompassing innovative practices, safety engagement, and proactive measures constructed to mitigate high-energy (STCKY) hazards. Through ongoing evaluation, radical candor and feedback, we have refined our approach to safety, integrating industry best practices and leveraging cutting-edge technologies.
But perhaps the most significant aspect of STOP THE STCKY is the people behind it—the dedicated employees who have embraced its principles, championed its initiatives, and made safety a non-negotiable aspect of their work ethos. Their unwavering dedication, combined with the support of our leadership team, has propelled STOP THE STCKY from a concept to a cornerstone of our company culture.
As we reflect on our journey thus far, we remain steadfast in our commitment to advancing the cause of safety in the construction industry. With STOP THE STCKY as our guiding beacon, we look ahead to a future where every worksite is inherently safe—a future where incidents are prevented, lives are protected, and our legacy of safety excellence endures for generations to come.
