Safety is priority #1 with aggressive and systematic training and implementation
We value our personnel and as a company strive to produce
a "zero-incident"
environment. We approach this philosophy from a number of directions.
- New hires
receive a Safety Orientation in Bell's office prior to going to
the jobsite. Orientation consists of viewing a safety video and
receiving a safety program handbook. It is mandatory that each
employee reads, understands and agrees
to comply with Bell's written policy.
- Bell is
dedicated to the ongoing education and safety specific training
of all employees.
- Bell has
a company Safety Officer. Their duties are to assure conformance
to Bell's safety plan and continuously update and modify the plan
to stay ahead of the latest and best safety ideas and methods.
- On the
jobsite, housekeeping inspection is done daily by the Jobsite Foreman,
promoting a safe and organized working environment.
- Jobsite
Foremen conduct Tool Box Talks weekly. There are 52 Tool Box Talks
specifically chosen
to fulfill the needs of electrical contractors. The goal of this
program is to preplan jobsite safety by involving employees in
defining basic job tasks, identifying the specific hazards related
to each task and determining the required safe procedures and equipment
for each job.
- Project
Safety Coordinator for St. Louis Chapter National Electrical Contractors
Association is at jobsites weekly or at the request of the electrical
contractor for various training sessions. The Project Safety Coordinator
is dedicated to his position full-time.
- Bell involves
its insurance company to work with Bell's Safety Officer to continue
to find new ways to prevent accidents in the work place. The insurance
company also inspects jobsites frequently and at random to insure
a safe working environment.
