At Terex, safety is an absolute way of life. We are committed to Zero Harm, and we expect all team members to be committed to this goal and to each other for continuous safety improvement. Safety culture is deeply ingrained in our business, empowering our teams to prioritize safe work practices. We provide our team members with the tools, training, and systems needed to plan and perform their work safely. All team members are expected to pause any job if they encounter or observe an unsafe condition, at-risk behavior, or any situation that poses a risk to the team. Our leaders are expected to foster a culture of safety, ensure that their teams are equipped for safe operations, and support pausing a job.
