Safety
At Prime Electric, safety is both a personal and corporate responsibility. Through our five core principles of safety – planning, awareness, accountability, training, and communication – we strive to make sure everyone gets Home Safe, Every Day.
We understand that in our industry, there are significant risks to our electricians every day. As a company, we refuse to ever put cost, schedule, or production ahead of anyone’s health and safety and believe that safety can coexist with production when there are robust emergency management and safety plans in place.
