COMPREHENSIVE SAFETY PROGRAM

WESTERN LIGHTNING & GROUNDING IS 100% COMMITTED TO SAFETY.

 A LOT OF COMPANIES SAY THEY ARE, BUT WESTERN LIGHTNING & GROUNDING PUTS THESE WORDS INTO ACTION THROUGH OUR COMPREHENSIVE SAFETY PROGRAM. THE WORD "COMPREHENSIVE" WAS CHOSEN FOR VERY SPECIFIC REASONS; IT IS THE CORE BELIEF OF THIS COMPANY THAT SAFETY, COMPANY PERFORMANCE AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION ARE ALL BYPRODUCTS OF A QUALITY, COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH. PROPER MANAGEMENT OF TOOLS, EQUIPMENT, MATERIALS, SCHEDULING AND COMMUNICATION LEADS TO ENOUGH TIME TO DO A PROPER INSTALLATION IN A SAFE MANNER.

 THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY IS CONSTANTLY EVOLVING AND NOWHERE IS THAT MORE EVIDENT THAN IN THE AREA OF SAFETY. THE WESTERN LIGHTNING & GROUNDING COMPREHENSIVE SAFETY PROGRAM TAKES A LAYERED APPROACH TO SAFETY:

1. ALL ON SITE EMPLOYEES HAVE A MINIMUM OF OSHA-10, AERIAL LIFT AND FALL PROTECTION TRAINING. SUPERVISORS ARE OSHA-30 CERTIFIED. COPY OF ALL CERTIFICATIONS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST

2. ALL EMPLOYEES ARE MADE AWARE OF SITE-SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES IN ADVANCE. MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE HIGHER STANDARDS THAN OSHA MINIMUM AND THESE STANDARDS WILL BE FOLLOWED. 

3. AS A PROACTIVE COMPANY, WESTERN LIGHTNING & GROUNDING HAS STANDARDS HIGHER THAN OSHA IN A NUMBER OF AREAS AS WELL, MOST NOTABLY IN THE AREAS OF TRAINING AND DOCUMENTATION, THE BEDROCK OF SAFETY. 

WESTERN LIGHTNING & GROUNDING WILL BE A PARTNER IN SAFETY WITH NOT ONLY OUR CUSTOMER AND THE SITE GENERAL CONTRACTOR, BUT ALL CONTRACTORS ON SITE. ONLY THROUGH AN INTEGRATED APPROACH CAN ALL TRADES MAXIMIZE THE POTENTIAL FOR SAFETY. NONCOMPLIANCE WITH ANY SAFETY STANDARD CAN RESULT IN IMMEDIATE TERMINATION.
