Commitment to Safety

Ordes Electric is a company committed to health and safety in all workplace environments. Our belief that people and property are our most valuable assets is the cornerstone of our safety program. We are continually recognized by our customers for leading the way when it comes to safe work practices. Besides our moral obligation and concern for our employees, safety is also important because it can affect financial results, our reputation, and employee relationships. We have low employee turnover, with an experienced executive management team that is involved with all safety and health aspects of the company.
