Many of us look forward to summer as a time to relax by the pool or visit the beach. At MetroPower, summer also means increasing our safety precautions to ensure no one is hurt by high temperatures and humidity.

According to OSHA, thousands of workers every year become ill while working in extreme heat or humid conditions. There are a range of illnesses that can be brought on by heat, and they can affect anyone, regardless of age or physical condition.

What if there was an easier way to achieve your health goals and earn rewards for your efforts? Now it’s possible! MetroPower and CarolinaPower have partnered with HealthCheck360 to offer our employees a new wellness program called Lifestyle Rewards. This voluntary program provides you with the tools, motivation and support to build healthy habits and achieve your unique health and wellness goals.

One of MetroPower’s founding principles is to create and deliver operational excellence while performing at a level superior to our competitors. With this principle as our guide, MetroPower has developed the Branch 17 Centralized Professional Engineering Group, which will allow us to offer more services to our clients at a competitive rate.

The Associated Builders & Contractors (ABC) Convention 2022 in San Antonio, Texas, featured MetroPower’s Danny Gibson as one of four panelists on the featured educational session: Leading A Safety-Centric Organization. The focus: how your company could be 645% safer than the industry average and thereby bringing about a reduction in total recordable incident rates by 75%.

Our people truly are our power. Your steadfast commitment to safety, customer satisfaction and having a servant’s heart has helped MetroPower become the premier electrical contractor serving the greater southeastern United States since 1947. Thank you.

One of the core values of PPC Partners is the Power to Serve. We are proud to donate time and funding to causes our employees care about through the PPC Foundation. In 2021, MetroPower donated $352,150 to 115 deserving charities and matched $22,800 of our employees’ generous gifts.

Without question, there is nothing more important than the safety of our employees—and that is reflected in our universal safety goal of zero injuries. Even in the face of a pandemic, our employees kept safety at the forefront of their minds.
