A Culture Where Safety Comes Standard
Safety is a daily commitment at MSC. It shows up on jobsites in how work is planned, how crews communicate and how risks are addressed before they become problems.
Our teams stay focused and prepared on every project. Over the past three years, MSC has maintained 5 OSHA recordable incidents. Each decision matters because the work we do affects our coworkers, partners and the facilities we serve.
Why HVAC Safety Matters
Our team approaches every project with safety built into the process. As a commercial and industrial HVAC contractor serving the Mid-South, we plan our work to protect technicians, building occupants and ongoing operations.
