Safety, Training, and Quality
Underground has a well-earned reputation for
emphasizing safety. We believe that a safe workplace is paramount to the
success of a project. Safety is our highest priority and we believe that
safety, training, and quality are inseparable activities.
Underground’s commitment to safety is evident on
any jobsite. Every worker on every job wears a hardhat and steel-toed
boots. Significant resources are devoted to safety supplies and
equipment. Safety is a part of each and every project, from the bidding
phase of a project to completion.
Our proactive safety program includes incentives
for employees to remain accident free. Rewards for working safely,
driving safely, and supervising safe crews are just some of the
incentives. Routine safety inspections of all jobsites are conducted not
only by our safety department, but also by every engineer and manager.
Underground pioneered employee drug testing.
Our
classroom and jobsites offer training at every level, from
safety-specific training to craft training to comprehensive supervisory
training. Safety and quality are integrated into the training programs
for all disciplines, insuring successful projects staffed by well
trained, safety conscious employees.
This constant safety awareness has yielded concrete
results: Underground’s safety record is one of the best in the
industry
