Why Power Testing?
Quite simply, we believe our company values are industry-leading, ensuring value for money and an excellent working relationship with any size client.
Our organisational culture is based on safety by consistently promoting and following our internal “Speak Up” and “WorkSafe” policies. This encourages staff to discuss any safety issues they may see without the fear of repercussions.
Our WorkSafe principles help us stay focused on remaining safe at all times:
- All jobs are done safely, no matter how urgent or small they are.
- Each of us has a personal responsibility for our safety and that of those around us.
- We must ensure we routinely and visibly put people to work safely.
- Each of us will take responsibility to spot, report and deal appropriately with hazards when and where we see them.
These principles have ensured our excellent safety record and we are proud to be OHSAS 18001 Certified (occupational health and safety management).
‘To ensure a safe and secure future for our people by delivering the best electrical solutions to our customers.’
