SAFETY

A CULTURE OF SAFETY

At ECI and EPC Services, our commitment to safety is just as important as our commitment to providing quality engineering services. From conception through completion, ECI is dedicated to creating a safe working environment for everyone.

Our team-focused safety programs and dedication across all levels of our operations ensure that our primary focus is on preventing injuries. This commitment to excellence also extends to our quality, environmental, and compliance performance, driving successful projects for our clients.

OUR COMMITMENT

We think safety is more than a priority; it’s a fundamental commitment that shapes every aspect of our operations. We believe that a safe work environment is essential for the well-being of our employees and the success of our business.

“Each of us shares a passion for safety and is committed to performing every task safely, every day, every job, every time, and always focused on zero harm. Our commitment to safety has become a pillar of EPC Services Company’s business.”

Randy McClure, J.D., C.S.P., C.U.S.P.

AN IMPRESSIVE RECORD

To help ensure work site safety, we review and qualify all contractor and subcontractor safety programs, OSHA compliance, training, documentation, and past safety performance before they start work on any project. We also conduct a post-project safety review to evaluate their suitability for future projects and ensure that our next project is even safer than the last.

With an impressive interstate EMR and zero TRIR, NFTRIR, FR, LTCR, RWDC, and DART incidence for 2024, you can have confidence that we care about the safety of our workers.

Hazard prevention

Our “Zero Harm” approach prioritizes safety in all facets of a project. ECI and EPCS encourage a “pause button” attitude at all work sites, allowing anyone to stop work if they spot an unsafe condition. Employees are praised for their vigilance, with no negative consequences for halting work to address safety issues. By prioritizing safety as a core value, we can ensure that our clients receive a high-quality and safe project execution.

“Work injuries and illnesses can affect every aspect of life for workers and their families. ECI and EPCS looks at safety as a journey, not a destination, it requires our continuing diligence, identification of hazards, and effective controls centering on employee wellness.”

Pam Potter
Corporate Safety Specialist, ECI


A Proactive Approach

Our Duty to Stop Unsafe Acts program engages ECI, EPCS, and subcontractor employees to collaborate in creating safe workplaces by asking every employee to make safety a priority for themselves and their coworkers.

This program has increased our Good Catch and Near Miss reporting by 300%, allowing us to predict and mitigate future consequential outcomes and ensure a proactive, rather than reactive safety culture.

Safety for all

We invest in comprehensive safety programs, regular training sessions, and the latest protective equipment and procedures. Our leadership team actively promotes a culture of safety, encouraging open communication and continuous improvement. Every team member, from senior executives to new hires, is empowered to prioritize safety, ensuring that everyone goes home safe and healthy every day.

“As a manager, I educate my team on safe work practices and make it a part of our normal everyday routine. That way, everyone can make it home at night in safe and healthy conditions. Safety doesn’t happen by accident.”
