It is not brave to take risks. MacGregor personnel take the time to double-check and make their decisions based on what is safe.

MacGregor has a market-leading reputation for safety. We identify and mitigate risk as a part of our daily work, in the office and in the field. We speak out if we have doubts and stop a job if it is not safe. Safety takes priority over all other considerations.

As part of our commitment to a safety culture our employees use a new safety app, delivering monthly safety updates and educational modules.

It is not brave to take risks; it is brave to be safe.
