Safety
Safety is Our Priority
Nothing is more important than safety. Our philosophy is that if it cannot be done safely, it should not be done at all.
Safety Training
Submar provides continuous safety training to all our employees through the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) certified online safety training platform, called SafetySkills. We train our employees on over 50 safety topics throughout the year, and courses are assigned quarterly. Using a third-party provider ensures that Submar employees have the most up-to-date training available, offers the ability to monitor and track training completion, and it enables a pre-defined retraining schedule to be established.
Operator Qualification
Submar’s safety philosophy extends to our employees, who undergo extensive training. Our crews are fully qualified to work on any site, which ensures the best possible results for our clients. We are proud to be Gold Shovel Standard (GSS) Certified. The Gold Shovel Standard is a first-of-its kind excavation safety program designed to reduce dig-ins and protect the underground gas and electric system. With safety as its highest priority, the Gold Shovel Standard Certification process was developed to ensure that hired contractors are vetted annually and adhere to the safest excavation standards.
Our commitment to safety and continuous improvement is based on the PDCA Model.
Plan: Recognize an opportunity and plan a change.
Do: Test the change. Carry out a small-scale study.
Act: Take action based on what you learned in the study step.
Check: Review the test, analyze the results, and identify what you've learned.
