Safety and Training at Potelco
Potelco is on a mission to eliminate life threatening, life altering and life ending events
At Potelco, we equip our team with the training and tools they need to work safely, efficiently, and confidently on every project.
Safety isn’t just something we do; it’s something we own. We own our readiness to manage safety events so when they do occur our people are successfully positioned to avoid catastrophic outcomes and can experience failure safely, without harm to life, property, or project success.
SAFETY IS AT THE CENTER OF OUR PEOPLE FIRST CULTURE
Building a robust safety culture in which we put PEOPLE FIRST sets the tone for safety excellence at Potelco. We are on a mission to eliminate life threatening, life altering and life ending events. Driving safety performance through operations leadership ensures every employee understands the importance of safety.
Adopting THE CAPACITY MODEL and integrating it into every aspect of our organization fosters a modern approach to safety.
OUR COMMITMENT TO SAFETY STARTS WITH TRAINING
Educating our workforce builds the foundation necessary to safely execute projects and prevent STKY-Actual events. Our continual pursuit of excellence drives us to educate our workforce at all levels within the organization. We provide high-level, hands-on, and practical training utilizing the industry’s most advanced training systems and tools.
With access to the industry’s top educational facilities like Northwest Line College, and advanced technology training units like the mobile transbanker unit, as well as some of the industry’s most experienced educators, we know we are developing one of the most skilled workforces in the nation.
EVERY DAY, ON EVERY JOBS SITE, WE MAINTAIN FOCUS ON STKY
Identifying “Stuff That Kills You” (STKY)” on a jobsite builds capacity by engaging STKY controls. STKY awareness changes the way we approach safety on our projects.
THE CAPACITY MODEL IS OUR APPROACH TO MANAGING SAFETY
The Capacity Model (TCM) concepts of prevention, learning and building “capacity” for failure have changed the landscape of safety in our industry. Tools such as the Energy Wheel equips our teams to be more effective in identifying STKY hazards on the job and to build capacity to fail safely.
