At Terex, safety is an absolute way of life. Workplace safety is a top priority because it ensures the well-being of our team members. We are resolute in our commitment to Zero Harm, and we expect all team members to be committed to this goal as well. Our Zero Harm culture is not just about resources and programs; it is about a mindset dedicated to improving our team’s safety.
Life Saving Behaviors
To support our Zero Harm approach, we emphasize Serious Injury and Fatality (SIF) Prevention through 9 Life Saving Behaviors identified as crucial for preventing the most severe incidents. These non-negotiable rules are mandatory for all team members to follow and are supported by our Company’s Safety Leadership Standard Work, which sets expectations for leaders throughout the organization.
I protect myself
against falls when working at heights.
I stand clear
of the danger zone from unstable/suspending tools.
I verify isolation
- lock, tag, and try - when work involves hazardous energy.
I follow
my lifting plan: No Plan. No Lift.
I obtain authorization
and validate air quality before entering a confined space.
I check
that my interlocks and guarding work correctly on my equipment and never bypass them.
I wear
my seat belt.
I position myself
in a safe zone in relation to moving equipment.
I pause
and ask for help from my supervisor if a condition is not safe or I cannot take these actions. If a near miss occurs, I report it immediately.
Injury Prevention Behaviors
Our Injury Prevention Behaviors (IPBs) were developed based on the most prevalent risks facing our workforce and are crucial to keeping our team members safe. The IPBs serve as a universal language for recognizing and discussing key factors contributing to injuries at Terex.

Community Outreach
We strive to be leaders in the communities in which we operate. Citizenship is also one of our key values, and we embody this principle by encouraging our sites and our team members to get involved. By promoting volunteerism, supporting local causes and events, and fostering partnerships with local organizations, we contribute to meaningful community support.
