Maintain more than service for your utility

As an electric utility, you and your output are depended upon by several parties. Government and regulatory agencies like NERC and OSHA require utility operations to meet a minimum standard of compliance; customers and communities expect the consistent delivery of power; and your employees rely on safe, efficient working environments.

As a key member of a complex system, maintaining more than your output is a necessity for keeping operations, costs, and fines under control. Turning to an experienced electrical power services provider can ease your workload and keep your entire operation running efficiently.

Compliance above all

Failing to maintain a compliant status with NERC and OSHA is the simplest way to introduce unwanted costs at excessive levels into your operation. Millions of dollars in civil penalties may become your concern if you fail to meet the latest compliance codes and regulations. By adding a knowledgeable expert to your team, you can stay up to date on the latest standards without wasting time sorting through codebooks.

Preventing workplace hazards

Limiting electrical hazards in the workplace significantly reduces the potential for work-related injury and death while greatly increasing employee retention and satisfaction. Ensuring a safe work environment boosts efficiency and reduces potential OSHA and NERC citations. ABM’s experts can help improve workplace safety while keeping you informed on current NFPA 70E standards, so you can prioritize elsewhere.
