HUNT
ELECTRIC’s SAFETY CULTURE
HUNT ELECTRIC promotes a strong
culture of safety and employee well-being. We are committed
to creating an environment
where our employees can work confidently knowing they have
been adequately equipped and trained to work safely and
are empowered to identify, seek input and correct unsafe
conditions before work proceeds.
The Safety Program at
HUNT ELECTRIC begins at the top with a strong management
commitment to safety. This is strategically
coupled with our thorough Safety Policies and Procedures,
our focused safety training process, financial and human
resource allocation and field reference handbook to guide
safety in our day to day operations.
Some of the ways we are focusing
on safety include:
HUNT ELECTRIC provides each employee with a current
safety handbook (reviewed and updated annually) to
keep in their
pocket for reference that provides easy to read reminders
of safety expectations.
HUNT ELECTRIC
uses the “TRACK
Program” which
is a daily risk assessment that empowers employees
to analyze jobsite conditions, employee work habits,
and the overall
safety on the jobsite prior to the commencement of
any task and to proactively act on their findings.

The
HUNT ELECTRIC Safety Program begins in the planning stages
of every project. Project
Managers
are trained
to identify safety concerns and each project
is reviewed by
the Safety Officers for OSHA compliance and necessary
safety considerations and equipment. We then
continue the focus
on safety at the jobsite through our jobsite
Supervisors. Supervisors are given weekly “Train
the Trainer (TTT)” instruction
from which they conduct and document weekly training
for the employees they supervise. Routine site inspections
by our Safety Officer and both site and industry
accident/injury
statistics form the basis of our safety metrics
that continually focus our actions and training. A
construction site, by
nature, is ever changing throughout the life
of the project. The TRACK risk assessment and routine
site inspection serves
to identify new or changing hazards and drive
proactive measures to mitigate safety risks.
HUNT ELECTRIC
promotes safety at every level
of management and on every aspect of the job.
We seek
to collaborate
with and support the efforts of our customers
to minimize all hazards in the workplace. HUNT
ELECTRIC Supervisors
are encouraged to bring to the attention of
General Contractors and Subcontractors unsafe conditions
and practices, and
to correct hazards before accidents occur.
A
strong Safety Program is not only good for business;
it is also the right thing to do.
HUNT ELECTRIC
is committed to a constant and vigilant approach
to
safety and to
apply the necessary manpower and resources
to keep our Safety
Program on the cutting edge of the construction
industry. By this approach our goal is to
send every employee
home to his or her family safely each day.
