Safety

The construction industry is well aware of the importance of job safety, but Hi-Tech Electric’s commitment goes beyond meeting minimal standards. A Safety Orientation is provided to our personnel before they begin their first job. They are also trained in Hazard Communications which includes instruction on how to read and understand Material Safety Data Sheets which are kept at every jobsite. Site specific safety training is provided as needed.

Hi-Tech Electric exceeds normal training standards. All employees are provided with full interactive training courses on CD-ROM designed specifically for in-depth training. This means that everyone trained in an interactive training course must fully understand the material covered before the next section is presented. They must be able to demonstrate that knowledge through hands-on interaction with the program to answer test questions during and upon completion of the training course. At Hi-Tech Electric, training is a serious responsibility and we’re up to the task with our state-of-the-art training programs. As a member of the “Association of Building Contractors” our personnel receive updated safety and skills training by A.B.C.’s regional offices.

Hi-Tech Electric’s commitment to safety extends to 100% drug testing of employees during the hiring process, including office and management personnel. We continue this program through monthly random drug testing. We use a nationally recognized and approved drug-testing lab for all tests.

Our commitment to safety includes meeting or exceeding all workers compensation requirements and Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards in each of the states in which we work. Employee participation in all company safety matters is a reality at Hi-Tech Electric. Each regional office has an effective and aggressive safety committee, comprised of the Construction Superintendent, 2 Foremen, 1 Journeyman and 1 Apprentice to ensure maximum employee participation. Our training and safety commitment is combined with a monthly safety incentive program that extends to all field employees to make Hi-Tech Electric’s safety program one of the best in the industry.

Our Management Safety Committee includes top management and a highly competent safety consultant to respond effectively to matters relating to employee and job safety. Our safety record demonstrates how well our efforts have paid off.
