DENVER, CO / ACCESS Newswire / May 8, 2025 / EdgeCore Digital Infrastructure, a wholesale data center developer, owner and operator, this week recognized the priority it places on ensuring safety in the workplace by hosting daily events to celebrate Construction Safety Week at sites across its portfolio.

"At EdgeCore, our motto is ‘Safety is No Secret'. This isn't just a motto we say, it's a verbal affirmation of our unwavering commitment to ensure the safety of everyone that works at or visits our job sites, operational data centers and offices," said Lee Kestler, CEO, EdgeCore Digital Infrastructure.

EdgeCore's safety team has established a foundational framework regarding safety called SAYF, which is woven into the fabric of day-to-day operations. The acronym stands for Seek Hazards, Assess Risk, Get Controls to Yes, and Follow Up, which means:
Step 1: Seek Hazards | First, it's important to actively identify potential hazards within our facilities. By taking a proactive approach, we can anticipate - and work to eliminate - risk, before problems occur.
Step 2: Assess Risk | Once there's a clear understanding of the risks at stake, weassess the level of risk associated with each. Labeling every risk makes it easier to understand which hazards require immediate attention and what safety measures are needed to get ahead of roadblocks.
Step 3: Get Controls to Yes | Once risks are assessed, we implement controls that are designed to address the identified hazards effectively and efficiently. In this step, we build critical processes, adopt required equipment and roll out needed training.
Step 4: Follow- Up | Safety is an around-the-clock job. We continuously monitor and refine our practices and processes, ensuring our controls remain effective via feedback and data. By following up on and regularly improving our safety measures, wecreate a culture of continuous improvement and alignment.
