MKD Electric holds the safety, health, and environmental impact of our business at the core of our value system. We believe that every hazardous incident is preventable, which puts safety at the cornerstone of our organization's success.  We believe that with safety as a base for success, quality and value will follow.

Our Goal: Zero Injuries

We believe that safety is the responsibility of every team member, and we use behavior-based safety practices to fulfill that responsibility.

Our safety and health program begins before we hire with a safety attitudes pre-screening for each team member candidate. Candidates must also pass a pre-employment drug and alcohol screening and are subject to random, "for cause", and post- incident substance abuse testing after becoming team members.

Once hired, it is manditory that our new team members attend a four hour general industrial safety training and orientation at the Three Rivers Manufacturing Association training center. To learn more about the Three Rivers Manufacturing Association please click here. This basic training is followed by an in-house safety orientation by our safety and health professional, followed by a half-day training/skill evaluation for NFPA 70E electrical safety by our full time trainer. All of this training is done before the team member begins work in the field.

The Keys to our effort:

• Safety, Health, and Environmental conscientiousness is the responsibility of every team member, and is the top priority in every task.
• Continuous training, observation, coaching, and reinforcement.
• An effective substance abuse program.
• A comprehensive written safety program.
• Accountability for safety and health performance at every level.

We focus on leading indicators such as; pre-job safety analysis, site specific safety, health and environmental procedures when appropriate, daily job safety analysis (JSA) by the work team before work begins, and root-cause analysis of near-hits.

Training includes targeted weekly safety topics, monthly "Lunch and Learns", quarterly company wide meetings where the president and safety professional discuss safety and health topics, and annual corporate safety committee program reviews.

Accountability of performance takes place by in-depth review of EVERY JSA, senior managements active participation in root cause analysis of near-hits and incidents, and team member's safety performance (both leading and trailing indicators) as a significant portion of annual performance appraisals and compensation decisions.
