Harlan Electric Company’s Post

Happy Monday! Here is this week’s :60 Seconds for Safety message, brought to you by our parent company, MYR Group. When an incident occurs, it can be tempting to address only the immediate issue and get back to work. However, an assessment of what more should be done to prevent future incidents is important. Don’t fall prey to the assumption that only the affected individual and their actions are to blame – a different, safer set-up on a jobsite or around equipment can prevent many accidents. Use your questioning attitude, discuss the situation with colleagues to get additional perspectives, and make the changes needed to improve the safety of the work area.

Happy Tuesday! Here is this week’s :60 Seconds for Safety message, brought to you by our parent company, MYR Group.   We often talk about taking your time and not acting quickly when you’re planning, assessing, or completing a task. However, there is a time to act quickly on a construction site- when as incident occurs. This doesn’t mean you should rush to take action. It’s important to act quickly to tend to an injury, and you need to be prepared to do so correctly. Otherwise, chaotic rushing can create more problems. Staying cool, calm, and collected while working diligently to address an issue is the recipe for a successful response to an incident.   At Harlan Electric, Safety is Life.     #HarlanElectric #MYRGroup #Safety #ElectricalConstruction #ConstructionSafety

Happy Wednesday! Here is this week’s :60 Seconds for Safety message, brought to you by our parent company, MYR Group. Falls prevention and protection must be taken seriously at every job site, with every task, every day. Carefully following the safety principles, rules, and regulations around working at heights saves lives. Before beginning any task, take ample time to identify hazards. Make the necessary adjustments to the environment, your behavior, and your PPE to protect yourself and others from fall hazards. Even if you’re working at height frequently, you must never get complacent about the risks associated with doing so. By staying vigilant, you’re contributing to a safer job site for yourself and your team members.

Happy Monday!

When you’re assessing your work set-up, take your time. Look above, below, in front of, behind, and to the sides of your work area. Then, go beyond assessing just in relation to your body – look all around heavy equipment and other items in your work area to ensure there’s nothing potentially hazardous in the vicinity. Your situational awareness will not only keep you safe, but empower you to better perform your tasks as well.  At Sturgeon Electric, Safety is Life.    #SturgeonElectric #MYRGroup #Safety #ElectricalConstruction #ConstructionSafety

#WattsUpWednesday with #TheSparkDaddy 🔌⚡Watts Up 1st Electric Community! ⚡🔌 As part of our ongoing commitment to safety and excellence, we want to highlight some crucial information about substation hazards this week. Understanding these risks is essential for ensuring the safety of our teams and the reliability of our operations. Substations play a vital role in our electrical infrastructure, but they also pose several potential hazards, including: Electrical Shocks and Burns: High voltage equipment can cause severe injuries. Always maintain a safe distance and use appropriate protective gear. Arc Flash: These explosive releases of energy can result in serious injuries. Proper training and safety protocols are critical to mitigating this risk. Chemical Hazards: Substations often contain batteries and transformers filled with hazardous chemicals. Ensure proper handling and storage to prevent exposure. Mechanical Risks: Heavy equipment and moving parts can cause injuries. Stay alert and follow safety procedures when working near machinery. Environmental Conditions: Weather and wildlife can introduce unexpected hazards. Always be prepared for changing conditions and keep an eye out for potential threats. Safety is a shared responsibility, and staying informed is the first step in protecting ourselves and our colleagues. Let’s continue to prioritize safety in every task we undertake. For more detailed information or to schedule a safety training session, please reach out to our safety coordinator.
