Our goal at DeRock is to set an example of safe work habits for all contractors working on a job site. To help meet that goal, over 90% of our field workers have completed the OSHA 30 Hour Construction Safety course.
OSHA 30 is a comprehensive safety program designed for anyone involved in the construction industry. In order to receive an official US Department of Labor OSHA 30 card, participants must pass segment quizzes and a final test with a 70% or higher grade.
Electrical hazards pose dangerous risks to employees in the workplace. Our main objective is keeping our team and others safe during work activity and when the job is complete. Evidence of this commitment is the fact that over 90% of our field personnel have OSHA 30 certifications, a credential that encompasses electrical and general construction safety.
The safety protocol at DeRock Electric establishes standards to prevent hazardous electrical exposures to personnel and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements applicable to electrical systems. Working on the equipment in a de-energized state is required unless de-energizing introduces an increased hazard or is infeasible. DeRock Electric helps to ensure that energized high voltage electrical work is performed safely by authorized employees, who are trained with the appropriate safe work procedures, protective equipment, and other controls. The safety program at DeRock is intended to ensure the employees are protected against electrical shock, burns, and other potential electrical safety hazards, as well as comply with all regulatory requirements.
GFCIs almost instantly interrupt a circuit if current leaks to ground, preventing electrocution, fires, and equipment damage. Our electricians are trained in how and where these devices need to be installed.
Every DeRock mechanic is issued a lockout tagout kit and trained in its use, ensuring equipment cannot be energized during maintenance or repair.
Rubber insulated gloves, tools, and non-conductive matting are used on every job, with employees trained according to OSHA publication 3077.
DeRock strives to protect our employees, our customers, and our community from COVID-19.
We are focused on the electric construction workplace we see every day, and provide specific guidelines to our field staff so they can safely go about working during this difficult time.
