Safety is a core value of VECA Electric and Communications — a value that is fundamental to our culture. VECA has earned an industry-leading record of achieving zero recordable injuries on 99% of our projects. Our zero accidents policy puts our safety performance right at the top of the industry.
At VECA, we believe that every accident — and therefore every injury — is preventable and we embed that philosophy into every VECA project through a combination of realistic procedures and ongoing training programs. For example: Every employee has stop-work authority — if it's not safe, don't do it. We also ask our subcontractors and project partners to adopt our commitment to safety. The result is exceptional safety performance, even in hazardous work environments, severe weather and remote locations.
The VECA Safety platform is focused on practical solutions to protect people, property and operations. Our dedication to this platform helps keep employees safe and pays off for our customers. Operating costs go down and productivity goes up.
