Safety

Safety Philosophy
A-C strives for a zero incidence rate.  Our philosophy is that all accidents are preventable and safety is the responsibility of every employee, all of the time.  The employees of A-C Electric Company are our most valuable asset, and no aspect of business is given a greater priority than their personal safety.  This conviction is reflected in our superb EMR rating, OSHA recordable rate and top-notch safety program.

Safety Program
The A-C Electric Company Safety Program makes every effort to provide a secure environment for its employees and is fully compliant with all local, state, and federal safety requirements.  The core components of our approach are:

  • Developing production procedures with safety as a focus
  • Code of safe practices and a written safety policy
  • Injury and illness prevention program
  • General and task-specific safety training
  • Equipping employees with the proper tools for safe work practices
  • Regular inspections at the job site
  • Incentive program to foster a safety mindset in employees

Safety Culture
Respect for safety is evidenced at every level of our business.  We employ a full-time safety administrator, who champions the program and is responsible for Safety & Loss Control.  The division manager and project managers enforce the use of safety equipment and safe work practices on every job.  Each foreman has the day-to-day responsibility of ensuring A-C Electric Company’s Safety Program is carried out in the field, and every employee under his supervision is encouraged to make safety a personal priority.  At A-C Electric Company, safety is more than a handbook: it’s a culture.
