According to OSHA, worker fatigue increases the likelihood of illness and injury, especially when shifts extend beyond the traditional workday.

Decreased alertness due to worker fatigue has been a contributing factor in a number of industrial disasters – including the nuclear accidents at Chernobyl and Three Mile Island! – but our commitment to safety is why Industrial Valve has never experienced a workplace disaster. 

Here’s how we ensure fatigue is never a factor at any of our work sites: 

• A safety routine that includes regular communication between our managers and technicians
• Proper preparation for working in hot environments (Read our blog post about keeping our teams safe in the summer heat)  
• Our technicians are provided adequate downtime to recover from a long day in the field 
• The most physically demanding jobs are scheduled at optimal times with respect to the season and time of day
• Teams take scheduled breaks in safe areas, with plenty of shade

Our safety procedures ensure our teams are always alert and focused when providing mission-critical services and repairs. Call and tell us about your critical mission and how we can support you.
