And in 2019, the company, which does hydroexcavating, sewer cleaning/inspections and pipeline rehab work, reported only two recordable incidents.The primary factor behind this sterling safety record? An ingrained culture of safety painstakingly built during the past five years, says Dave Jaeger, vice president and co-owner of the company along with his father, Dave Jaeger Sr.“We definitely get in front of things when it comes to safety training, most of which we do in-house,” says the younger Jaeger.Employees attend weekly and monthly safety meetings and take mandatory courses
