SAFETY

Our safety policies are dynamic and vigilant, meeting the highest standards set by our clients and our company, along with any regulatory requirements established by local, state or federal agencies. BGE’s Safety Committee, which includes board members and service leaders, establishes regulatory policy and training procedures — driving them through every corner of the organization.
Online safety management systems support our safety program, including ISNetworld, Avetta, PICS, BROWZ, and more. BGE safety program members lead our job safety analyses, OSHA recordable injuries and near-miss incident reporting, as well as internal programs. Through to our systems, regulations and training, we respond to and align with the needs of our clients in a way that earns their trust. We never stop striving to earn their trust.
“BGE’s Safety Program is about our people and making safety a part of our culture. Our goal is for our employees to return home to their families safely at the end of every workday.”
