Safety
Republic ITS administers a comprehensive company-wide safety program to ensure that safety on all job sites is the top priority. Our employees are required to read and understand "Safety Rules for the Outside Electrical Industry" by the National Electrical Contractor's Association (NECA). Our 40-page Safety Manual provides our employees the base set of safety information so that they may perform their work in the expected safe manner. In addition, regular "Tailgate" sessions are conducted to provide pertinent and up to date information.
We have zero tolerance policy on all safety violations. Our employees are trained using a variety of resources. Republic ITS is a strong proponent of formal training as well. Our Electricians and technicians are also IMSA and IBEW trained. Prior to being sent out on their own, each electrician/technician spends time with a number of senior staff members to learn the procedures and protocols we follow and must pass a series of tests before the area superintendents permit them to work independently. Republic ITS Safety Program and continued education program promotes and supports a very low Workers Compensation Experience Modifier of 79%.
Republic ITS employees are given CPR and First Aid training to provide treatment in the event of an emergency. We believe that it is critical that members of our field staff are properly trained and enabled to help both themselves and others in the event of an emergency.
Training
With offices in Arizona, California, Florida, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Texas, Republic ITS is the largest employer of IMSA Level I, II and III employees, providing more job opportunities nationwide. In addition, we provide the only federally approved Traffic Signal Maintenance Journeyman Apprenticeship program in the United States and is open to employees. A level of camaraderie among the journeyman contributes to continued high morale and high rates of employee retention.
