Safety

We are disciplined in our approach to safety. Across all business lines, functions, and companies, we aim for a world-class safety program and consistently work hard to achieve this goal. We incorporate workplace organization tools, like 5S (sort, set in order, shine, standardize, and sustain), to increase efficiencies and maintain safe working spaces for our employees. Routine risk assessments and our safety policies and principles provide a framework for decision-making and help ensure that all tasks are carried out with employee and workplace safety top of mind. From an educational and training standpoint, we hold weekly safety meetings, regular training sessions, and 'tool box talks' to foster and maintain an open dialogue regarding safety issues and continue to cultivate a culture where safety is always top of mind and is everyone’s responsibility. As a strategic incentive to strengthen safety performance, all Summit Materials employees’ and executives’ bonuses are tied to Summit Materials' and our companies' end of year safety results. Additionally, our top performing companies and facilities are rewarded each year with highly competitive internal awards to incentivize performance throughout various aspects of the safety program. In recent years, our leadership teams have been recognized by national and state organizations for their innovative ideas and commitment to safety in the workplace. Safety Leadership Teams have empowered our employees to analyze everyday tasks and make them safer and more efficient for the entire organization. During any given week, there is at least one team at each company taking time away from their daily tasks to analyze, discuss, and ultimately, reduce hazards.

Benefits

Summit Materials provides competitive market-based compensation and employee benefits programs. This includes health and wellness programs consisting of comprehensive medical benefits for employees and families, and depending on the company, group life insurance, short and long-term disability insurance, paid holidays/vacation, sick pay, and other ancillary benefits. Summit Materials offers a 401(k) retirement plan, which includes company matching.

Wellness

Improving the long term health of Summit Materials' employees is the goal of our wellness program. We have worked to foster a culture of health through multiple types of engagement, including, annual biometric screenings and activity-based programs, which also aim to reduce employee health insurance costs. To incentivize participation in the wellness program, Summit Materials offers monthly financial discounts on health insurance plans for employees who participate. Employees receive a free biometric screening annually, and are encouraged to speak with their doctor about their results. The program has proven its value as employees have continued to make some powerful and positive changes with regards to their overall health. We provide access to information regarding health and wellness designed to inspire and encourage our employees to live healthier, happier lives, both in and out of the workplace.

Recruitment and Veteran Hiring

Veterans, active military, and their spouses continue to be an important part of all of Summit Materials' recruiting and hiring programs. Summit has steadily worked to increase veteran hiring in recent years by developing a best practices playbook, which provides tools for long-term success for our military and veterans on the job. We are proud to have service men and women contributing to our company and workforce.

Summit Materials and our companies have formed recruiting partnerships with some of the top mining and technical universities in the country. Our internship program helps us identify bright, young talent, and provides these emerging professionals an opportunity to learn and deploy new skills and in an experienced, supervised setting.
