Occupational Health and Safety in the Power and Utilities Industry
Power and utilities keep our communities running efficiently each and every day, without us having to give it a second thought. The power and utility industry has a number of different sectors that fall under this umbrella such as water, electricity, and waste management, to name a few. Different work settings have their own set of occupational safety concerns and each environment should aim to tailor their resources to benefit the wellbeing of their employees.
Fall hazards, exposure to dangerous materials or toxic substances, misuse of machinery, and many other risks in this industry call for specialized occupational health and safety services. Working to ensure that the employees in the power and utilities industries are functioning in a safe environment will not only be a benefit to you as the employer, but it will also benefit a number of communities all across the country.

Future trends in the utilities and power industry
Clean energy is picking up traction as people work toward more sustainable solutions. The utility industry has long included electricity as one of the better-known sectors, but now solar energy and wind turbines are emerging technologies for clean energy sources. Workers in this new and growing industry will need resources tailored to their respective settings and needs.
As we lean into this shift toward clean energy, health and safety in the workplace will have to adapt and grow along with it. Mobile Medical offers a wide array of services for many industries and we're prepared to grow alongside our expanding workforces. Contact a representative to learn more about MMC.
