Safety


The IBEW was originally founded over 100 years ago. The driving issue behind these workers to form a union was jobsite safety. We proudly continue this tradition today. Our members stay vigilant in the pursuit of working safely. This vigilance reduces workmen’s comp claims, saving our contractors and customers money, but most importantly we are able to the leave jobsite at the end of the day without injury, allowing quality time to enjoy our loved ones.
