Outstanding
Safety Practices Garners Rosendin Electric National AGC/Willis
Construction Safety Excellence Award and Regional Safety Awards in
Oregon and California.
SAN
JOSE, Calif. (July 22, 2013) -- Rosendin
Electric, the nation's largest private electrical
contractor and an employee-owned company, has received top honors in
safety from the Associated General Contractors (AGC) of America,
including the National 2013 AGC/Willis Construction Safety Excellence
Award and regional safety awards for the Oregon and California
offices.
Rosendin
Electric was awarded the First Place National 2013 AGC/Willis
Construction Safety Excellence Award, Specialty Division, for
contractors with more than one million hours worked. The Award was
created to recognize companies that have developed outstanding safety
and loss prevention programs through a combination of management
commitment, employee involvement, and program innovation.
Rosendin
Electric received this award for its safety record and company-wide
safety culture that empowers every employee to promote on-the-job
safety. For example, the company issues "Stop Work" cards
that can be used by any employee to promote safety on the job site. A
"no-knife" policy has also been established, requiring all
employees, office and field, to use only safe tools to minimize
accidents. Furthermore, Rosendin Electric requires every Apprentice
to maintain a safety portfolio, so Journeymen can track their
equipment and procedures training. Safety is also a key part of
Rosendin Electric project planning, and all field safety personnel
are equipped with tablet computers so they have access to safety
performance data and can identify potentially high-risk procedures.
In
addition to the National Award, the AGC Oregon-Columbia Chapter has
recognized Rosendin Electric's Hillsboro, Oregon, office with a
Recognition of Safety Excellence (ROSE) Award in the Specialty
Division, more than one million man hours worked. The ROSE Award is
presented by AGC area contractors to recognize their peers for best
safety practices. Rosendin Electric was singled out for its passion
and commitment to safety, and the empowerment given to employees when
it comes to addressing safety issues.
Rosendin
Electric also received a 2012 Safety Award of Excellence in the
Specialty Division category for contractors with more than one
million worker hours from the California AGC Chapter. This marks the
seventh year in a row that Rosendin Electric has received recognition
from the AGC California Chapter for its safety record.
"Every
Rosendin Electric employee understands that safety is part of their
job responsibility," said Marty Rouse, Vice President of Safety
for Rosendin Electric. "We have always prided ourselves on
maintaining a corporate culture centered on safety. The fact that we
have garnered three AGC awards in a single year, including the top
award for safety in the Specialty Division, is a welcome
acknowledgement of our ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe
workplace."
