Customized Safety Plans for Every Job Site
Our safety protocols and procedures help equip our employees with the training and tools they need to work safely and confidently. Our teams are also trained to report unsafe practices to help proactively avoid incidents and injuries.

To support our commitment to safety in the field, we maintain a set of inspections and documentation tools designed to help ensure ongoing compliance. These include:
- Office and Field Safety Committee Meetings
- Daily Safety Huddle
- Weekly Job Inspection

Our goal at Connelly Electric is to ensure every employee possesses the knowledge, skills, tools, and equipment to work safe each and every day.
