SAFETY
PROGRAM

Wholesale Electric Supply sustains a strong safety culture where leadership commitment to safety is visible. Employees are motivated, recognized and rewarded for sustaining our safety goal: NOBODY GETS HURT. Safety is viewed as an investment, not a cost. And we share our experiences through Safety Talks, the monthly Safety Bulletin, and the Safety Charter Committee. Continuous improvement and best practice methods are main objectives for our Workplace Safety Program titled “Safety Starts With YOU!” where we subscribe to online learning management systems such as NAED Training, and risk management software to implement incident investigations, hazard identification and prevention, and record keeping.

Employees feel comfortable reporting safety concerns, and are encouraged to present new ideas to mitigate any hazards. Visible in our safety slogan, “SAFETY STARTS WITH YOU!” our workplace safety program is based on the principle that safety always comes first, with each task, every single day, and it starts with ME.

SCREENING

WES is committed to a safe, healthy, and productive workplace for all employees and recognizes the benefits of having a substance abuse-free workforce. WES utilizes multiple Third-Party Administrators (TPAs) to manage the multitude of workplace screening requirements that our contract companies must meet to work at safety-focused worksites across the Energy Sector. TPAs such as DISA, First Advantage, S2Verify and InfoMart are used by E&P owners and contractors as well as refinery and petrochemical owners and contractor companies, and is mandated or accepted at more than 200 facilities across the U.S. These TPAs specialize in workplace safety and compliance services and are known for their high standards, excellent service, and quality products. They offer a variety of compliance services, including drug and alcohol testing, background screening, and qualification filing.

FLEET
SAFETY

We have a responsibility to our clients, our employees, and the general public to ensure that our vehicles are at all times in safe operating condition and operated only by licensed, DOT compliant, qualified, and safe driver. The Fleet Safety Program is intended to assist us in meeting this responsibility as a commercial carrier regulated by the United States Department of Transportation (US-DOT), and to convey to all drivers and other employees the specific duties and responsibilities that each has regarding fleet vehicle safety.

WES is committed to use every resource available to insure compliance for our drivers and vehicles at both the state and federal levels. As a result, we develop, review, and continuously optimize our Fleet Safety Program to meet the demands of current compliance guidelines. Our policy provides a framework to control risks associated with the operation of DOT regulated vehicles, including trailers. All of our DOT certified drivers follow our Fleet Safety Policy and operate our DOT compliant vehicles in a law-abiding and safe manner. Management considers safety and accident prevention to be one of our highest priorities in all areas of operation, including fleet vehicle safety.

SAFETY CHAMPION OF THE MONTH

Brendan Wright

Brendan started as a temp in August 2019, and it wasn’t long before the Facilities Department discovered that he would fast become an excellent employee with outstanding work ethic. A carpenter by trade, his skills have contributed to quality building maintenance, and his recent task that he volunteered to do was build wooden chocks for the wire reels. These chocks, small but strong, are wedged beneath the reel flanges and creates a wall of protection that will stop a 5,000 lb reel from rolling and hurting an employee.

Bryan Gutierrez & Luis "Wolf" Muniz

Bryan and Wolf were part of a warehouse rotation program supporting our Sulphur Branch due to the back-to-back damage caused by Hurricane Laura and Hurricane Delta. The program became an invitation to stay for over five months where they assisted with wire cuts, customer support at Will Call, stocking and receiving material from deliveries and transfers, and more. Both Louisiana and Texas branches became a strong work family.

Hector Rull

Hector is a truck driver for our CMMS Division, and when he arrives to work early in the morning, it is still dark outside. While parked at the warehouse dock, he noticed suspicious theft activity, immediately prompted his co-workers onsite to contact the Police, and recorded the event with his cell phone, all in a very calm and effective manner. Hector’s safe intervention resulted in zero property loss, and no one was hurt.
