Training & Safety
We take training and safety seriously: not just for our employees, but also to ensure the safety of our customers as we provide the highest quality service possible.
When we pass a finished, impressive building, we take pride in the project as a whole—the design, the craftsmanship, and the results that everyone can see. But our greatest pride comes from what can’t be seen: the wiring and conduit carefully installed behind walls and ceilings. Even though this work is hidden, we take personal responsibility to ensure it is done safely, reliably, and to the highest standards, so our customers can trust that every detail is built to last.
At Douglas Electric, safety is more than a requirement, it’s a core part of who we are. We invest in ongoing training for every employee, ensuring they have the knowledge, skills, and tools to work confidently and protect themselves, their teammates, and our customers. By prioritizing safety at every step, we create an environment where our team can perform at their best while delivering work that meets the highest standards.
