Safety

From the interview process to the start of each day, our technicians are fully immersed in our safety culture. We also conduct frequent leadership safety training as part of ongoing safety education.

Every morning, the project foreman leads an overview of what will be worked on that day, potential hazards, and how to mitigate them. We also hold a daily recap, discussing any improvements needed for the next day.

We recognize common practices that ensure overall safety and enforce those behaviors with life-saving rules for our crew.

We identify hazards before they become a concern and continue reassessing the environment throughout the duration of a project.

Our Environmental Safety and Health Program meets or exceeds all OSHA requirements. It is also reviewed and approved by both ISNet and Avetta for industrial clientele. Interstates also has an authorized OSHA outreach trainer and dedicated safety staff to continually assess these needs.

Our Short Service Employee (SSE) management program introduces safety at Interstates. We pair new and temporary team members with a mentor who can help integrate them into the Interstates family. This program helps prevent work-related injuries and illnesses and demonstrates the "why" behind Interstates' core values.

We also recognize that many individuals in our industry struggle with mental health issues, and we are dedicated to supporting our team members and making impactful connections with them. One way that we're encouraging deeper connection is through the use of a specific method that focuses on helping people have simple, yet meaningful conversations. By showing genuine interest in each other, we can change the outlook of anyone's day.
