SAFETY
OUR COMMITMENT TO SAFETY
These days, safety is acknowledged by most any contractor. Successful contractors must realize safety is a real bottom line issue; it's no different than equipment or material costs, overhead or bond costs. Furthermore there is the real human cost of safety. When a contractor takes care of its people, the benefits are more than just bottom line.
Southwest Electric’s commitment to safety is reflected in the extensive resources utilized in carrying out the safety program. Every project manager, superintendent and foreman has a safety manual. This manual reflects the years of experience of the management team and includes 124 pages of detailed instructions.
Topics include tool box safety meetings, jobsite emergency procedures, accident investigation, first aid, personal protective equipment, hazard communication program, confined space policies, fall protection, assured grounding, lifts and scaffolding, and most important to electricians: lockout/tagout procedures.
Other resources include:
On-staff OSHA certified safety inspector, answerable directly to the General Manager
Considerable expenditure for quality tools
Proper safety equipment
Direct managerial involvement in all projects
