By Habersham EMC

There are a wide variety of jobs performed at Habersham EMC, but none of them are exempt from the dedication to safety. From the linemen to member services and everyone in between, the over 100 employees at HEMC all play a unique role in maintaining a safe work environment.

HEMC is celebrating their eighth consecutive year with no lost time accidents.

“Our employees take great pride in their work – no matter their role – because they understand how much our members and communities rely on the services we provide,” said Jason Rothell, Manager of Safety and Loss Control at Habersham EMC. “We’re incredibly proud of the entire HEMC team and their unwavering commitment to safety and excellence in everything they do.”

In addition to employee safety being the number one priority on the job site and in the office, HEMC promotes a culture of safety that goes beyond the goal of an injury-free workplace. The co-op nurtures an environment where concern for employee’s health, safety and welfare extends beyond the walls of the office and job sites into the community.  HEMC is committed to providing training, proper tools, personal protective gear, and time to do their jobs safely.

“Regardless of working conditions, safety remains the top priority.  Our goal is that each and every employee makes it safely home to their families –each and every night.” says Rothell.  “Reaching milestones such as this is reflective of the safety focus of HEMC’s Board of Directors, CEO, managers, and every employee.”

Habersham EMC looks forward to the future, the milestones yet to come and seeing the number of accident-free days continue to climb.
