Training and Education Programs

Kearney Electric emphasizes safety by providing extensive training, including OSHA 10, Asbestos Awareness, and specialized programs like OSHA 30 and Confined Space training. This ensures regulatory compliance, asbestos risk management, and proficient use of lifting equipment. Advanced courses cater to industry-specific challenges, like CommScope training for communication systems. These initiatives underscore the company's dedication to risk mitigation and safety leadership in construction.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Every field employee is equipped with quality safety equipment on day 1, including helmets, gloves, and safety glasses. All PPE is required on-site and adherence to PPE guidelines is non-negotiable at Kearney Electric because our employee’s safety is the number one priority.
