SAFETY CULTURE
SAFETY AT THE CORE OF OUR OPERATIONS
We are committed to fostering a culture of safety in all our operations. Safety in vegetation management is paramount as it involves working in potentially dangerous environments with heavy equipment, sharp tools, in some cases electrical hazards, and unpredictable conditions. Prioritizing safety not only protects our team members and the public, but also ensures preservation of the environment and success for our client's vegetation management projects. At United we implement strict safety protocols, ongoing training programs, and regular equipment maintenance to minimize the risk of accidents, injuries, environmental non-compliance, and delays to our client's projects.
INDUSTRY-LEADING SAFETY STANDARDS
Our commitment to safety has led UTEM to develop an industry-leading safety program. We partner with ISA, TCIA, and other organizations to develop a comprehensive yet robust safety and training curriculum to ensure our team is prepared, qualified, and up to date with all new safety and environmental regulations. Our main goal is to promote a safety culture that extends beyond the field and into the daily lives of our team members, clients, and the public.
