What We Stand For
Four core values, on and
off the jobsite.
Our Culture of Caring grows out of the values we hold ourselves to every day.
What We Stand For Four core values, on and off the jobsite.
Our Philosophy
Our Philosophy Fraser has been a multi-trade mechanical contractor since 1950 — plumbers, pipefitters, welders, HVAC and controls technicians working in mechanical rooms, process piping, and utility environments where the margin for error is small.
Our safety program is built on a simple idea we call a Culture of Caring: everyone is responsible for everyone else. Crews are encouraged to speak up early, log the small stuff before it becomes an incident, and never trade a shortcut for a shift. Leadership backs that up with plans, training, and time on the jobsite.
Compliance & Prequalification

How We Work Safely
A safety program engineered into every project.
These practices run on every job, not just the high-risk ones — so safe work is the default, not the exception.
-
Project-specific HASPs
A written Health & Safety Plan for every project, reviewed
together with the crew in the pre-job kickoff before work
begins.
-
Root cause analysis
Every incident and near-miss gets a documented rootcause
review and corrective actions — we fix the cause,
not just the symptom.
-
Daily Job Safety Analyses
Every crew submits and reviews a JSA each day,
identifying the day’s hazards and controls — 100%
participation, company-wide.
-
Good Catch & Near-Miss reporting
Teams log hazards and near-misses on their daily reports
through Raken, so small catches get fixed before they
become incidents.
-
Safety & QA/QC in every meeting
Safety and quality aren’t a separate agenda item —
they’re part of every meeting we hold, from pre-job
kickoffs to leadership and project reviews.
-
On-site safety visits
Safety leadership visits active jobsites to observe
conditions first-hand and support crews where the work is
actually happening.
