YOUR SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY
B&B is serious about safety. Our employees receive safety training from their first day of employment, and continues over their time with B&B to help ensure their safety along with the safety of our customers and other on-site contractors. Examples of these training activities include new employee orientation, job-site orientation, annual company-wide safety seminars, and continuing education and training for journeymen and apprentices.
Attendance at Weekly Toolbox Talks is required of every B&B employee working on-site. These check-ins provide a focused time of discussion about the status of the project, and any concerns or updates on safety protocol. We understand that the preparedness and safety of our team is key to keeping your project on track.
Although we do our best to avoid any incidents, the nature of our industry lends itself to some safety risks. All incidents and near misses that occur on our job-sites are thoroughly documented and investigated.

The MOD rate contributes to how much companies pay each month in workers’ compensation premiums, determined by the company’s past incidences and worker compensation claims. The industry standard is 1.0, a company with a mod rate less than 1.0 has had less claims than the average. B&B Electric is proud to consistently have a MOD rate below the industry average, reflecting our commitment to rigorous safety standards.
