"All of our core values are vital yet, none are more important than working safely and with integrity."

Safety is the overriding value of all aspects of our business. The first job of all employees at APS is to ensure their safety, that of their co-workers and the public at large. While the growth of our service territory dictates greater efficiency and productivity, these added demands cannot come at the expense of the health and safety of our employees.
With the amount of work necessary to meet our rapidly growing service territory, the challenge to work safely will continue into the future. This challenge is increasingly significant as many experienced employees reach retirement age and new members of our team are trained. In the APS 2005-2010 Business Plan, the management team asks each employee to "Own the Challenge." Until APS employees can achieve zero recordable injuries and sustain that performance, there will always be room for improvement.
Specifically, employees have been asked to focus on six fundamental principles of safety:
-
Use the right tool for the job
-
Get the necessary training
-
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment
-
Conduct thorough tailboard (pre-job) briefings
-
Stop work if there is a safety concern or question
-
Report all close calls
