The
Safe Way is the Only Way
Construction can be a dangerous industry, and when it comes to safety, cutting corners is never an option. A leading electrical subcontractor throughout New England and the Southeast for nearly five decades, Wayne J. Griffin Electric, Inc.( Griffin Electric) has established a culture in which safety is heavily ingrained. From day one employees understand the importance of best practices to help ensure they make it home safely to family members every day. Emphasizing continual learning is critical to the safe execution of work, and the company is committed to giving team members access to the latest training and educational resources available.
Griffin Electric is proud to offer a range of complimentary classroom and online seminars as well as workshops throughout the year. These resources are designed to develop technical and electrical skills, address critical safety issues, and provide training on particular equipment, products, and computer programs. The company’ s in-house Apprenticeship Training Program has also served as the foundation for many people to get their start in construction for over 30 years, and safety remains a pivotal component of its four-year curriculum. Providing a comprehensive program of educational tools ensures its people are
always well-trained and will be equipped to complete their work as safely and effectively as possible.
The company has completed thousands of projects across a range of markets, and a strong adherence to safety has played a crucial role in the company’ s success. Before a project even begins, project managers and forepersons develop a preconstruction plan which helps identify potential hazards that may be encountered on the jobsite. The company also has a dedicated team of safety managers who regularly visit every active project across each of its five regions. Conducting thorough walk-throughs allows them to proactively identify, eliminate, and control hazardous conditions that could lead to injury. Safety managers and forepersons also conduct regular“ Toolbox
Talks” and speak with crew members to share valuable information and further emphasize safety-related topics. The company’ s Experience Modification Rating( EMR) is consistently better than the industry average and is a testament to the excellent safety reputation it has established for itself.
Griffin Electric understands that safety extends beyond just the physical
aspect and supports the mental and emotional well-being of its employees, too. With May representing Mental Health Awareness Month, it serves as a reminder of the importance of investing in its team to help them be their best. The company is proud to provide employees with access to a number of mental health resources, personalized care from specialized professionals, and even a confidential Employee Assistance Program( EAP) which is available at no cost.
Providing employees with an array of tools and resources to help them stay safe at all times and reach their full potential is part of its commitment to
“ Work with the Best. Be the Best.”
Even as the construction industry evolves, safety will always be paramount. Griffin Electric will continue to do all that it can to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all its team members.
