WHAT’S AT STAKE

One incident in a utility environment can affect thousands of people.

Arc flash events, confined space fatalities, and H2S exposures aren’t just OSHA violations — they’re front-page events.

Utilities operate under the most complex intersection of federal and state safety regulations in any industry, including OSHA, NFPA 70E, NESC, and DOT pipeline standards.

Gaps in any one area create cascading liability.

UTILITIES ANNUAL SAFETY PROGRAM

Regional Water Authority Eliminates Confined Space Incidents Over 24 Months

“We had two confined space near-misses in three years before USP. Since implementing their rescue standby and training program, we’ve had zero incidents and passed our state inspection without a single finding.”
Greg W.
Director of Operations, regional water authority, New England

FROM THE FIELD

What our clients are saying after one year

Before USP, we were reactive — waiting for something to go wrong before we fixed it. After the first year of the program, we hadn’t had a single OSHA citation. That’s never happened in our 20-year history.
James Donovan
VP of Operations, Regional Construction Firm
