Safety remains our top priority. The Company is committed to providing a healthy, safe and productive work environment for all employees and customers. In collaboration with established local and regional safety committees, the Safety and Risk Management group assesses job-related hazards, corrects deficiencies and develops updated policies and training for all employees.
Our risk management team continually evaluates employee injuries to determine the root cause. Musculoskeletal injuries are a leading cause of work-related injuries for our employees. Our teams continue to work on engineering and administrative controls to reduce these types of injuries.
By enforcing safe and responsible work habits in the field, on the road and at the office, we benefit the communities and neighborhoods we serve and help to make them better places to live and work. Moreover, a sincere commitment to safety at all levels of the company supports our vision to be America’s favorite fiber provider.
We have a strong, ongoing commitment to providing a safe and healthy workplace and to ensuring employees are properly trained and have appropriate safety and emergency equipment. We provide employees with annual safety and compliance training, including job specific and general environmental health and safety training, anti-harassment training and relevant job-related, instructor-led training on hazards they may experience. In 2024 employees completed more than 12,000 safety and human resource-compliant training modules.
