Conducting business safely is the foundation of CIK Power Distributors. CIK aligns itself with the Social Accountability 8000 (SA8000) framework to demonstrate health and safety in the workplace. CIK further pledges to fulfill its commitment by striving to achieve “zero accidents” performance each day. This is accomplished by tracking lagging indicators like incident rate, but also leading indicators like near misses and observational data by site inspection reports. This data helps structure CIK policies and procedures to prevent incidents and accidents from happening – more importantly, it could save a life.

Adequate training in preparing employees for the hazards they will face on the job is the single-most effective way to prevent workplace incidents from occurring. For this reason, regardless of experience, CIK has instituted a robust safety apprenticeship program to certify employees to recognize, avoid, and prevent safety and health hazards in their workplaces lead by our OSHA Authorized Construction Trainer. Employees who complete the one-week of initial onboarding will then advance to the next phase of the apprenticeship program and so on and so forth until they advance to become a field foreman.
