Safety
BEFORE ALL ELSE
Everyone goes home whole — in body, mind, and spirit.
Every day our people work around heat, sparks, heavy lifts, and moving equipment. The work demands focus, communication, and trust. We owe one another our full attention, because one small lapse can carry real weight. That’s why safety comes before schedule, before output, before everything else.
We design our spaces and systems to protect our team. Cranes, forklifts, weld cells, and tooling are planned for visibility and flow; protective gear and ventilation keep air clean and people clear. Training isn’t a box we check. It’s how we make sure everyone understands how to stay safe while doing the work they’re proud of.
But safety at ACE goes deeper than procedures. True safety is about people — their bodies, their minds, their families. We look after the whole person, not just the shift. Physical strength, mental focus, and rest all matter. We encourage balance because a clear mind and steady hands protect everyone. When someone steps onto the floor, they bring their best self — and everyone around them does too.
In a place where tons of steel move every day, safety is our constant. It’s how we protect each other, honor our craft, and keep the promise that everyone goes home safe.
I get energized by the thought that we can keep our team members in our span of care — to create a great place to work.

Our Commitments
These five commitments define how we bring safety to life. This isn't a checklist. It's a promise we make to each other.
People First
Safety starts with respect. Every person has the authority to stop work, ask questions, and make sure conditions are right before proceeding.
Prevention by Design
From material flow to fixture layout, we design safety into every process. Guarding, lift assists, and clear sightlines reduce risk before the first part is made.
Continuous Education
Training happens daily — in meetings, on the floor, and through peer mentoring. We share lessons, update procedures, and learn from near-misses to stay sharp.
Wellness + Readiness
Safety depends on people who are rested, focused, and well. We promote physical health, mental clarity, and work-life balance because the safest shift begins long before it starts.
Culture of Care
We take care of each other. Not because policy requires it, but because our values do. We celebrate good catches, talk openly about risks, and never walk past a hazard. Safety isn’t a rule we follow; it’s a value we live.
