The Maron Electric Company Safety Program is viewed as one of the premier electrical safety programs. We believe safety starts at the top: that’s why Eric Nixon, a company owner and president, remains the Executive Safety Officer of the company. He is able to oversee, implement and govern a program that declares a strong safety commitment. Eric Nixon is a past Chair of the NECA Safety Committee as well as the past Joint Chairman on the Union Contractor Safety Committee.

Our program was created with significant input from a variety of industry professionals. The basis of our plan is continual training that reinforces safe practices in all aspects of work. These practices are promoted regularly until they become second nature. The safety plan reflects contractor standards in temporary power and light plus all other contractor requirements, most of which exceed industry standards. As a result, Maron Electric is recognized not only for its workmanship but also for its safety record.

An individual safety plan is prepared for each unique construction project. This document is developed collectively with the general foreman, the general contractor and the owner. All appropriate people are then trained according to the plan as part of the project launch.

Working with Zurich Insurance’s Loss Prevention Personnel as well as Maron’s Controller, Jim Rowe, as well as Assistant Safety Director Rich Howe,Jr., Maron has reduced its Experience Modifier Rate (EMR) significantly. In fact, our EMR has remained below 1.00 (the industry average) for the past seven years.
