Billitier Electric Inc. places a premium on the importance of electrical safety for all employees. Employee safety is a top priority in every aspect of our business, as our workforce is the most valuable resource. The company commits significantly to investing on an annual basis with regards to safety equipment, up-to-date safety training, and information to ensure that our employees have the safest possible work environment available to them.
OUR SAFETY CULTURE
From the President through our skilled craftworkers and back-office support, improved safety performance depends on making all employees accountable. We make it every employee’s responsibility to ensure:
- the safety program is carried out,
- everyone utilizes safety work practices,
- unsafe conditions are eliminated or controlled,
- necessary protective equipment is available and properly used,
- all personnel are instructed in safe practices, procedures, and job requirements,
- all incidents are thoroughly investigated, and the causes corrected immediately,
- and they are familiar with all safe working rules pertaining to their job.
TRAINING
We recognize that employee education is the cornerstone in the prevention of incidents and near misses. Safety training establishes a safety culture in which employees take ownership of our program and promote proper safety procedures while on the job.
Safety training is an integral part of providing our craft workers the best chance at success. Initial onboarding training as well as regular “refresher” courses take place to ensure that safety and best practices are reinforced at all times. All training is tracked to ensure qualified resources are available to safely and efficiently deliver our services.
