Our people are our most valuable resource and our environment is our home. We will go to any length to protect them.

We foster a culture of safety, backed by world-class training resources, actively identify and guard against hazards on the jobsite, and minimize our impact through planning and execution.

Good intentions don’t save lives. We know that even with the best preventions in place, things can still go wrong: people make mistakes and the world is unpredictable. We plan and execute our work assuming that failure will happen today. The Capacity Model™ is a system that helps us build the capacity to absorb failure without suffering harm. We learn from every job, every mistake, and every success to continually improve. Safety is not merely the absence of injuries; it is the presence of capacity.
At Quanta, safety is a core value. Our job is to complete every project without incident or injury. Quanta’s management team creates a culture in which all employees have the opportunity and responsibility to take ownership for their safety and the safety of their coworkers. We’ve always held the belief that our most valuable asset – what truly sets us apart – is our employees. At the end of the day, there’s nothing more important than our employees going home safely.
Quanta’s Automated External Defibrillator (AED) program aims to increase the rate of survival for people suffering sudden cardiac arrests wherever our crews are.

PWR UP is an initiative to give recent occupational health and safety graduates the training and field experience they need to become leaders in the Quanta family of companies.
We don’t hide from the truth: working at our scale creates threats to health. The hazards are real—dust, noise, chemical exposure, heat and cold—and must be addressed. We lead the industry in assessing the industrial hygiene of our jobsites, identifying the risks to our workers’ health and giving them the protection they need.
We have changed how the industry identifies and deals with risk. The Capacity Model™ empowers us to continually improve the protections available to our workers. We will stop at nothing to protect our workers, our most valuable resource.

From our everyday actions to major capital investments, we prioritize the environment around us in all our decision making, protecting and enhancing it as we work.
We strictly adhere to environmental rules and regulations, while safely and efficiently executing our services. We use our business processes to identify and manage risks to the environment and reduce potential environmental impacts throughout the life of our projects. Quanta maintains an industry-leading reputation for environmental stewardship and, as a result, is often selected for the most environmentally sensitive projects.
We identify applicable environmental laws and regulations, and implement programs, policies, and procedures to assure compliance.
We continually review our programs, policies, procedures, and behaviors to identify how we can improve our adherence to our principles and our commitment to protect the environment.
We employ systems and procedures designed to minimize activities and conditions that pose a threat to the environment. We strive to prevent unauthorized releases to the atmosphere, land, or water. We provide for the safe treatment and disposal of waste.
We communicate our commitment to protecting the environment to our employees, contractors, customers, and external stakeholders.
Quality means ensuring that everything we plan and build works the way it should for a long time. We support a collaborative culture that continually exceeds customer expectations and reinforces our position as the leading integrated infrastructure solutions provider in the market.
