Safety

A Culture of Safety

Safety is our top priority. We pay careful and constant attention to ensuring work and construction site safety. Everus’ safety statistics for recordable incidents and lost-time injury rates were better than Bureau of Labor Statistics industry averages for 2023.

Electrical Transmission & Distribution (ET&D) Partnership

Everus is a founding member of the OSHA ET&D Partnership. Established in 2004, this collaboration aims to enhance safety standards for workers in the electric line industry. Through the partnership, Everus contributes to analyzing accident data, formulating best practices, devising implementation strategies and advocating for training criteria to foster a culture of safety within the industry.

OSHA Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP)

VPP recognizes employers and employees who have established effective safety and health management systems and maintain injury and illness rates below national Bureau of Labor Statistics averages for their respective sectors. In the program, management, labor and OSHA collaborate and work proactively to prevent fatalities, injuries and illnesses through a system focused on hazard prevention and controls, worksite analysis, training, management commitment and employee involvement. Employers undergo a rigorous OSHA onsite evaluation by a team of safety and health professionals. VPP participants are re-evaluated every three to five years to maintain their program status.

Safety Stand-Ups

Everus operating companies hold safety stand-ups regularly, during which team members receive training and are reminded to think about safety first on every project and task. All our companies also hold a “Safety Week” each year for more extensive safety training and activities that encourage camaraderie among team members, which we believe elevates care and concern for each other.

Subcontractor Safety

Everus places a strong emphasis on contractor safety by annually requesting information on subcontractors’ safety programs and incidence rates. Subcontractors are offered company safety policies and training, when needed, to ensure compliance with OSHA standards.
