Singleton Training

The safety of our employees in the field is a priority at Singleton Electric Company. To ensure that our labor force is operating in compliance with today’s safety regulations, Singleton requires completion of an extensive training course in accordance with the Singleton Electric Corporate Safety and Health Program, which covers a broad range of company-wide applications.

Training is conducted in four phases:

  • Formal classroom training

Singleton superintendents, foremen and sub-foremen must successfully complete an Occupational Health and Safety (OSHA) 10-hour course, whereas all Singleton employees must attend a Safety Training Orientation that covers the company’s Policy and Commitment to Safety, Incident Prevention Program, and our Managed Return to Work Program.
