At North States Utility Contractors, Inc., we believe our safety policies contribute to our success.

It is mandatory for all employees to attend regular safety meetings. We have implemented a training program for new employees which enables them to be flexible in both the gas and electric areas. Employees have attended two safety meetings presented by J.I. Case Corporation and one Western National Insurance Company.


All employees are required to meet utility safety standards. Crews are careful to sign jobs properly and wear safety vests. Crews are provided with safety glasses, rubber gloves, first aid kits, ear protection, orange vests, rain gear and hard hats.

North States Utility Contractors, Inc. also has a substance abuse policy that includes a random drug testing program which is in accordance with the requirements of government regulations.


The business office and shops are extremely well organized and clean. Custom built racks and shelves hold everything from tools to road signs and supplies. Hoses and Cords are coiled and hung. Employees care for their trucks as if they were their own and are required to keep them clean. Mobile phones are in all trucks for emergency situations.


Quality control extends to every piece of equipment. Machinery is completely reconditioned each winter because extensive maintenance has resulted in efficiency and dependability for North States Utility Contractors, Inc.


Operator Qualification

Operator Qualification was implemented in 2002 to increase pipeline safety. A standardized procedure was adopted throughout the various utility companies and contractors to standardize the installation and pipeline safety. Here at North States we have two Certified Operator Qualified Evaluators on staff with thirty years of field experience each. These Evaluators continue to oversee, test and train the employees for the many updates and changes that occur in the gas field as well as interpret and relay valuable information relating to the various tasks performed. North States Utility Contractors, Inc. is an associate member of WUA, so as to keep up with this ongoing process.
