Safety Culture
At Three Phase Line Construction, safety is in our company’s culture, work and everyday life. Three Phase continuously improves in safety with a goal of zero injuries. Through careful planning and identifying, eliminating or controlling hazards, we protect our workers. We also initiate and develop “best practices” and training that keeps our workers safe.
On-site safety managers, regional safety managers, safety committees, supervisors, foremen and a company safety director make up our safety department. This team implements and reviews work procedures, identifies possible job-site hazards and continually builds on and refines our safety program to ensure a safety-first credo.

“Safety is my passion. Early in my career, I was a lineman: Once a lineman, always a lineman. Unfortunately, I saw peers get injured, unnecessarily, and decided I don’t want to visit folks after a serious event; I want to be part of the solution and prevent these events. Safety is preventing incidents, being proactive and getting everyone home to their families.”
Paul Mackintire, Vice President of Occupational Safety and Health
