Safety First, Safety Always. Safety is part of our culture.
REX wants everyone who steps on to one of our job sites to return home safe.

We ask our employees to live by this safety creed and go the extra mile to ensure personal and co-worker protection. In return, we place the same expectations on ourselves as an employer—our priority, first and foremost, is to achieve an incident- and injury-free workplace.
We think in terms of careers, and our goal is to provide long-term employment and to promote a healthy and safe environment throughout an employee’s tenure with our company.
Every day, every minute, we remain committed to the health and well-being of our employees, customers, local communities and the environment.
