Safety Excellence and Recognition

Safety Is a System—Ours Is Built to Perform

At ARI, safety isn’t a slogan—it’s engineered into how we drill, blast, and deliver. From complex mine sites to mission-critical infrastructure, we design systems that protect our people, our clients, and the communities where we operate.

Built on Results: We’ve driven our EMR down to 0.73—not by chance, but by discipline. That number reflects years of field accountability, tight feedback loops, and training that sticks. We don’t chase compliance—we build capability.

ISNetworld Verified: ARI is a certified ISNetworld member contractor. Our clients rely on our verified standing to confirm we meet the industry’s most rigorous safety, insurance, and training standards—before we ever step on site. We are fully approved with no open items or mitigation plans required across our active client connections, reflecting the strength and completeness of our safety systems.

Recognized Leadership: Our VP of Drilling & Blasting was named MSHA’s Pacific Northwest Miner of the Year—a rare honor that validates not just individual leadership, but a company-wide culture of safety excellence.

Proven in the Field: In mining, even the best-run sites face citations from time to time. What sets ARI apart is how often our teams earn zero-citation inspections across hundreds of active customer job sites. With MSHA inspectors on site regularly—sometimes daily—we deliver clean inspections through disciplined planning, targeted training, and crews that execute the details. These aren’t anomalies—they’re the outcome of a system that works.

Safety Tech in the Field: ARI’s mobile platform embeds AI-driven hazard analysis, real-time work order data, and site-specific client checkpoints directly into the flow of fieldwork. Crews are guided through the exact expectations for each site—nothing left to memory. They flag risks, verify conditions, and document compliance in real time. Clients receive instant confirmation that safety inspections are complete and project-specific risks have been addressed—before the work begins.

Our Standard Is Zero Injuries. At ARI, that’s not a tagline—it’s a commitment built into how we plan, communicate, and execute. Every day starts with a toolbox talk and pre-op inspections. Crews complete workplace exams and JHAs to surface site-specific risks before work begins. Drone flights and bore tracking ensure that field execution matches design with precision. We hold weekly internal safety meetings and close out each day with client-facing job huddles to review current and anticipated hazards—and align on mitigation in real time. Safety at ARI isn’t reactive. It’s predictive, deliberate, and embedded in every layer of our operations.
