Dynalectric San Diego received a 2024 EMCOR Safety Excellence Award in recognition of our use of cutting-edge prefabrication, advanced analytics, and engaging educational events to create a rich, proactive safety culture. Each year, one electrical company under EMCOR Construction Services is recognized with this award for demonstrating an outstanding commitment to safety.
We strategically integrated our warehouse and office into a shared 137,000-square-foot facility featuring a highly advanced prefabrication space. This consolidation has allowed us to shift specialized tasks into a controlled environment, helping significantly reduce safety hazards. In 2024, we emphasized optimizing underground conduit prefabrication, which has helped drastically reduce employee exposure to open trenches where cave-ins and other risks are present.
We also introduced an enhanced approach to incident analysis, conducting in-depth case studies on all incidents, first aid cases, traffic violations, near misses, and more. Our Vice President of Field Operations, Safety Director, and superintendents lead thorough investigations and present findings at monthly Safety Committee meetings. In turn, lessons learned are communicated to employees through safety flashes, toolbox talks, and orientations.
Beyond protocol and policy, our team has also worked hard to put safety at the forefront of company culture. At our Annual Safety Fair, employees engage in interactive training, gain valuable certifications, and participate in dynamic discussions based on data gathered from incident analysis. Family members also attend the fair, helping instill a sense of community amongst the team and a deeper commitment to one another’s well-being.
Our organization also hosts quarterly safety luncheons that involve jobsite visits from executive leadership. These events present an opportunity for the top of the organization to discuss safety priorities, update teams on upcoming projects, and recognize field crews for their work. Employees who have reached safety milestones are also recognized at our annual holiday party.
These efforts have positioned us as a true safety leader in our field. Along with this award, we have received several recognitions from leading safety organizations. Our outstanding performance and robust program reflect a culture where safety isn’t simply a priority, but a fundamental value.
