Safety
Ferreira Power West (FPW) is committed to the combined goals of safety, quality, and productivity. The safety objective across the company and at every job site is zero incidents. FPW’s management is dedicated to fostering a workplace environment where employees are trained, empowered, and motivated to work together in pursuit of continuous improvement toward this goal.
Ferreira’s safety program reinforces the importance of people, with an emphasis on training, communication, and safe execution. Crews begin each shift with a pre-job briefing to review and discuss specific hazards and controls associated with the day’s tasks. Ferreira is focused on making continuous improvements to the safety program, predicated on meaningful employee engagement at all levels of the company. The goal is to meet daily work objectives without incident.
FPW leadership demonstrates its commitment to safety by actively observing daily field tasks and adapting procedures to meet varying site conditions. The company goes beyond general industry practices by setting weekly and monthly safety goals. FPW also routinely shares success stories and safety “good catches” from crews to reinforce positive behaviors.
All employees are held to the highest standards of safe workplace practices. Every team member is responsible not only for their safety but also for the well-being of their coworkers and the overall success of the project. This team-driven approach has enabled both management and field operations to evolve and strengthen FPW’s safety culture.
