Safety & Training
Safety Training
Safety on our projects is of the utmost importance. At ICS, we believe that there is no excuse for unsafe job conditions or practices, which is why our employees are trained and certified in proper safety procedures. It is no mistake that ICS has a great safety record. We make safety a priority by investing the time and effort to identify and eliminate safety concerns. Our safety efforts include employee safety training in various areas such as, First Aid, CPR, AED, OSHA 10 & 30, NFPA 70E, Confined Space Entry, Aerial Platform Lifts, Drug Free Workplace Program, Forklift, Respirators, and others.
All of our employees are compliant with the COATS substance abuse program, and many employees hold TWIC cards that some jobsites require. You can be rest assured that the ICS team assigned to your project will be safe and drug-free.
In addition to the training that we provide to our employees, we are continually adjusting compliance to the needs of our customers. While all of our customers require OSHA compliance at a minimum, some have additional safety requirements that are unique to their operation. ICS easily conforms to the customer’s specific safety policies, and requires all employees to adhere to any safety policies that are required.
Skills Training
ICS strives to provide well trained electricians and technicians. Our training includes both academic and hands-on training which is essential. ICS maintains an active membership with the Independent Electrical Contractors of Greater Cincinnati (IEC). All of ICS’s electrical apprentices are required to attend the IEC’s State of Ohio accredited electrical apprenticeship program. The IEC is the nation’s premier trade association representing America’s independent electrical contractors. The IEC of Greater Cincinnati has been awarded the national IEC Chapter of the Year 12 of the last 14 years and shows no signs of slowing down. The training of our employees is of utmost importance to us. This is why we make the significant investment in training our technicians to be professionals.
In addition to the training that IEC provides for our apprentices, ICS uses a combination of factory training classes and in-house technical skill training sessions to further advance our workforce in the specialty skills that we offer to our customers. This is what separates ICS from our competition.
