California Utility Market Cal/OSHA Regulatory Support

NES was hired to work with utilities throughout California to ensure contractors follow Cal/OSHA regulations when performing construction and remediation operations.

The Challenge

NES was hired to assist in how to effectively support or augment safety staff across various utility providers in different geographical regions across California. Utility operations and projects vary greatly and are subject to various Cal/OSHA regulations. Whether it be operating power plants, dams, hydro power generation, electrical substations, etc., the challenge is being able to quickly ingrain the NES team into the utility’s operations in order to develop effective and sustainable solutions.
