Safety Program

KCES ensures daily safety meetings are being held prior to starting each job. Our goal is to eliminate accidents by being as proactive as possible. We implement a safety program directed towards the electrical work that we perform, while meeting all industry safety standards.

Our program has been established in order to:

  • Ensure the safety of employees who may work on or near electrical equipment.
  • Ensure that employees understand and comply with safety standards related to electrical work.
  • Ensure that campuses, agencies and employees follow uniform practices during the progress of electrical work.
