Safety Core Values
Message from Roger Jackson, President of MEI and Its Family of Companies
At MEI, safety is not just a priority—it is a core value that defines who we are. Our commitment to Safety Excellence means we strive for zero harm every day, in every task, and in every decision.
We embrace the Capacity to Fail model, recognizing that the best systems anticipate human error and are designed to prevent small mistakes from becoming catastrophic events. This approach ensures resilience and continuous improvement across all our operations.
Above all, people are at the center of everything we do—and that is non-negotiable. Every employee, partner, and customer deserves to go home safe, every single day. Safety is not a box to check; it is a shared responsibility and a promise we keep to each other and to the communities we serve in Southern California.
Together, we will lead with integrity, innovate with purpose, and build a culture where safety excellence is the foundation of our success.
Stay safe. Stay committed. Stay MEI strong.
Roger Jackson – MEI President
