Why Work For Pipe & Steel: A Team Who Prioritizes Employee Safety

At Pipe and Steel Industrial, we work hard at everything we do, but we work hardest at keeping our employees safe. That's why we've been awarded the Safety 70 Award by the Louisiana Workers' Compensation Corporation for eight years in a row and how we've managed to maintain our incredibly low Experience Modification Rating of 0.72. Our rating makes us the safest construction company in our size bracket in the Gulf Area. 

We want you to feel comfortable joining our team as an employee or hiring our team to help complete a project. 

Proper Equipment & Training

At Pipe and Steel, we provide our welders with top-of-the-line safety gear and accident-minimizing machinery. We educate our employees on how to look for potential safety breaches and equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge to prevent incidents. 

A huge part of maintaining a safe work environment is having the right equipment for the job and then training employees on how to properly use that equipment. These practices play a significant role in ensuring the safety of our employees and completing a job with excellence and efficiency. 

Zero Incidents Program

We know that safety supersedes rank. That's why we've implemented our "Zero Incidents Program" to train our employees to keep each other accountable, regardless of title or role. If something doesn't look right, they know they can speak up without receiving negative feedback. 

We ask our employees for their ideas on how to increase safety measures in the workplace. We want our employees to feel comfortable talking about what could have been done differently regarding previous incidents and solutions to current problems. 

Safety Affects Prices

A safe work environment helps us keep our costs low, because we aren't paying compensation for injuries or increased insurance rates. Since we aren't eating into our bottom line with these extra expenses, we can keep our client prices lower and provide our employees with better benefits.

3 Elements Of Safety Culture In The Workplace

Over the past eight consecutive years, our efforts and commitment to ensuring that our employees are safe have been commended by the Louisiana Workers' Compensation Corporation. This comes to nobody's surprise because Pipe & Steel promotes a culture of workplace safety.

Even without the accolades and the feeling of being watched, we understand why the safety of our employees has to come first; a safe working environment is also paramount.

What We Focus on

We understand that championing for industrial safety should not be done on paper only. Pipe & Steel strives to be a safety leader even on the ground where the action usually takes place. To ensure this, we focus on the three main foundational elements in safety culture, which include:

1. Accountability

Safety is our number one priority; it supersedes any rank. It makes it easier for anyone (despite the position) to act whenever they identify possible issues that threaten safety.

Creating such a culture boosts accountability; everyone is willing to contribute and report any shortcomings that there may be.

2. Processes

As it stands, 33% of businesses in the industry exhibit poor safety culture. This can be attributed to lack of assessment of previous instances that threatened the safety of the employees. Pipes & Steel takes such matters seriously. It explains why we rank so high.

3. Hazard Recognition

The attitude of your employees can contribute to over 51% of your businesses' success. Motivating your employees by rewarding those who maintain high safety standards ensures that they remain vigilant in hazard recognition. That explains our continued dominance in this field.

Our Founder Leading From the Front

Pipe & Steel is a company built by Kylie Sparks with safety top-of-mind. For a company that has been fabricating carbon and alloy piping systems for power, chemical process, and refining from 1998, it takes high safety standards to be around for that long.

Sparks says, "Safety is a culture your employees take home to their families." Looking at our success, the statement is true.

What Makes Pipe & Steel Industrial Services Stand Out?

The steel and pipe fabrication industry is an already saturated market. Choosing the perfect service provider in such a place is, therefore, not a simple task. You need more than a decorated website when weighing options. Pipe & Steel is, however, not your ordinary fabrication company and the following reasons explain why our clients keep coming back for more services:

1. One-Stop Industrial Services Provider

If you need a company that does it all without subcontracting or involving third parties in their line of work, Pipe & Steel measures up. We boast of a full-house skilled task force that renders quality piping, plus carbon and steel fabrication industrial services within client-desired or specified timeframes. 

2. Industrial Safety

An industrial company that looks out for everyone's safety is the ideal client's pick. Pipe & Steel meets the industry's safety standards for its employees and any other involved parties. Our welders are equipped with safety-enhancing work gear and our choice of machinery minimizes accidents. Additionally, our eight-year winning streak of Safety 70 Award proves beyond doubt that industrial safety at Pipe & Steel is and remains a priority.

3. Able & Growing Team

We have an able team of over 200 skilled professionals who are dedicated to meeting client needs for industrial services when called upon. The Pipe & Steel family is also accommodative of additional qualified labor, making it easy to complete projects on a timely basis and follow up maintenance routines. 

4. Availability

Everyone wants an industrial company that can show up on short notice without making excuses. Our services at Pipe & Steel are available throughout and you can count on our team to uphold quality and maintain safety whenever they show up, even when it's an emergency.
