"Safety starts with me" is not just a slogan — it’s a mindset.
Superintendent Anthony Betancourt shares how personal responsibility, daily planning, and active field presence shape a safer jobsite at our South San Francisco Bay Shoreline project. From using Stop Work Authority to gathering every voice during safety meetings, Anthony leads by example — showing how staying alert and involved makes a difference for the whole crew.
Safety isn’t one person’s job. It’s everyone’s. When each team member takes ownership, we build a culture where safety is second nature — and that starts with you.

How you doing? I'm Anthony Backcourt with other construction. I've been with other construction for four years and this is our Alviso Shoreline project. So every morning will start off our safety meeting with our JSA's, have two observations done today by each person talking about what they see in the day before, what we could put into place to make everything safer for the job site, for everybody else. We'll get everybody's opinion, kind of get different feedback for everybody. And JSA will keep our key points to talk about what we need to do to make sure it's a safe environment. Everybody has a stop work authority. If somebody sees something unsafe, shut the job down and tell, you know, sit down, talk together, come up with a game plan so we could do something safe. If you see it, you own it. So we try to keep everybody safe and make sure that we, you know, came to work the same way.
