Safety - Wholesale Electric

WORKPLACE 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.

FLEETSAFETY

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.
