Commitment to Safety

"Safety is critical to every project. Our managers, engineers, and superintendents plan each project with safety in mind. Our commitment is to provide a safe work place and to ensure that everyone goes home safely every day. This commitment is demonstrated through adherence to a clearly defined safety program, active and visible management support, and participation in safety activities. There is no job that is too important or too big that is worth the loss of life or an employee getting hurt."

- David Houle

Vice President Safety, Health & Environmental


Our program starts in the preplanning stages before the job starts with Safe Work Plans and following through with daily reviews once the work has started. We look at each task, identity the potential hazards, and mitigate those hazards every day. M. J. Electric requires management/supervisory personnel to conduct safety inspections and file safety reports, review incidents with supervisory and field personnel as necessary and see that corrective action is taken immediately. Management/supervisory personnel are required to have a working knowledge of the laws pertaining to safety and their requirements, thoroughly investigate all incidents, and ensure that immediate corrective actions are taken. M. J. Electric reviews and incorporates the customer's safety program with ours so the customer is assured we will satisfy all of their safety concerns. Our Safety, Health, and Environmental Department ensures that our training programs meet or exceed OSHA, regulatory requirements and industry standards. Approximately three quarters of our training is employee qualification training that we fund directly and indirectly. Qualifications and refresher training are tracked through our Safety and Health Organization to ensure that the qualified resources are available to safely and efficiently deliver construction services. It is paramount that the subcontractors we utilize have our same philosophy and work practices in delivering safe quality productive work to our customers. By having this expectation and selection criteria, we close any gaps in performance expectations between our work and that done by our subcontractors for our customers. M. J. Electric then evaluates every subcontractor’s safety and performance at the end of a project and this information is utilized for decisions regarding future work. Subcontractor Prequalification Document (PDF) M. J. Electric’s proactive approach to safety has led to numerous national and project based safety awards. M. J. Electric is proud to be one of the leaders in the industry in safety performance and programs. We believe that there is no job that is too important or too big that is worth an employee getting hurt.
