“AT MASTEC, SAFETY ISN'T JUST A PRIORITY - IT'S A CORE VALUE.”
Safety is a mindset and an attitude that all MasTec employees carry with them on a daily basis. As a member of the NCCR, National Safety Council, OSHA Electrical Transmission & Distribution Safety Partnership and numerous other safety organizations and safety auditing programs, MasTec is committed to continuous improvement in safety with a common goal of zero injuries. As well as taking an active part in initiatives that include the development of "Best Practices" and training programs.
In addition, MasTec has established training centers across the country to teach our employees about the importance of keeping compliance with OSHA and DOT safety rules. Through our risk management programs, we educate our reliable staff, our subcontractors and our vendors to promote training and safety as a cornerstone of our company culture. At MasTec, our employees actively execute safety values and accident prevention tactics during every job, while simultaneously generating innovative and quality work on a nationwide level.
Our training centers in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Texas are operated by experienced safety and training managers. These centers educate our employees in mandatory outside plant, aerial, and underground- construction practices and safety procedures that help ensure compliance with OSHA and DOT safety rules.
We are committed to reinforcing safety and risk management through mandatory training and skill-level improvement programs, including:
