Congratulations to RDJE, Inc., Fusion Group, Ltd.’s 2026 Innovator Award winner!

RDJE was recognized for PROJECT SafeDig, an initiative designed to strengthen trench safety, emergency preparedness, and operator training through hands-on learning and technology-enabled development.

By partnering with the local fire department for live trench rescue exercises and introducing heavy equipment simulator training, RDJE is helping employees build real-world awareness, confidence, and safer jobsite habits before high-risk situations happen in the field.

This is a great example of innovation in action: investing in people, improving preparedness, and reinforcing a safety-first culture.

Innovation does not always mean creating something new from scratch. Sometimes, it means recognizing where a safer solution already exists, and taking action to put it in place.

For Humphrey Company, Ltd., that meant addressing bandsaw safety by revising company standards and investing in updated technology designed to help reduce unsafe practices. The new bandsaw features dual-trigger safety controls, requiring both hands to operate the tool and helping keep employees’ hands away from the blade while it is engaged.

This initiative is a strong example of practical safety innovation: identifying risk, improving the process, and giving employees better tools to do their work safely.

Congratulations Humphrey Company, Ltd. on winning Elevation Group, Ltd.'s 2026 Innovator Award!

Design Mechanical Inc was recognized for its employee engagement and retention initiative focused on strengthening the field employee experience during The Heartland Group's 2026 Innovator Awards.

By listening directly to new hires and field employees, their team identified opportunities to improve onboarding, technology training, communication, and access to resources. From there, they redesigned their onboarding process, created a comprehensive New Hire Field Book, and launched engagement and safety surveys to ensure employees have a voice beyond their first day on the job.

The result is a stronger support system that helps employees feel prepared, connected, and valued from the start.

Congratulations to Design Mechanical, Inc. on this well-deserved recognition and for leading with a people-first approach to innovation.

With “Safety on Purpose” at the center of their efforts, T.W. Frierson is proving that safety is more than a requirement. It is a culture, a commitment and a foundation for people to thrive.

Complete Structure came together in Costa Rica this March for their Annual Board of Directors Meeting.

The week was filled with connection and memorable moments. The group dinner at Patagonia del Mar was a standout favorite, with a live band and full dance floor following the awards ceremony creating an unforgettable evening.

A special recognition to Mark Rook CHST, Safety Director for AMS Mechanical Services Inc., who attended his final meeting ahead of his retirement this summer.

As part of a founding member company, Mark has been a constant presence for more than 20 years, missing just one Risk Control Workshop. In a heartfelt moment, the group surprised him with custom “farewell tour” t-shirts, reflecting the deep appreciation across the organization.

Here’s to continued success and the strong partnerships that make Complete Structure what it is today!
