To maintain Advanced Air Systems’ safety goals, training begins on day one of employment. Employees complete safety training prior to working on any job site.
Safety Performance Metrics
To evaluate the success of our safety programs, we take into account:
- The lost time injury rate.

- The number of equipment breakdowns.
- The number of incident reports.
- The number of safety violations.
- Corrective actions implemented.
Planning for each project begins with safety. Pre-construction meetings are conducted to focus on potential job site safety hazards and ways to mitigate those hazards prior to the Advanced Air Systems crews arriving at the job location. While projects are under construction, site safety inspections are conducted unannounced on a weekly basis by the safety director to ensure compliance with our safety policies and those of our customers, as well as Federal/State Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) regulations.
Safety Protocols
Our division promotes strict adherence to safety protocols and industry regulations such as:
- Protective equipment is a priority: protective clothing, gloves, hard hats, footwear, safety goggles, etc.
- The use of appropriate equipment and tools at each project stage.
- Evaluation of the work site to detect and control potential hazards.
- Safety measures for handling chemicals such as coolant.
- Taking steps to ensure safe electrical connections.
- And ongoing training to provide knowledge of new safety protocols.
Safety Culture
Our Safety Division Experts promote different values to consolidate the culture of compliance with safety measures and ensure that employees clearly understand the importance of prevention practices in executing their activities.
Our values are:
- Assertive communication between employees and safety experts.
- Care for the health and safety of employees and staff.

- Teamwork to prevent risks.

Incident Reporting
In ASS, we have an incident reporting procedure for employees to capture and record any event that occurs during the provision of the service, from injuries to employees or staff or property damage, etc.
We have a form that accurately details the incident, where it occurred, when, at what stage of the project, who was injured, who was there at the time, and a description of the injury or damage.
Once the report is delivered to the safety director or manager, an investigation is opened to implement the necessary corrective mechanisms (improve training processes, enhance personnel management, etc.) and prevent a similar situation.
Training and Safety Education
In compliance with the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Act, we have incorporated a safety education program to keep employees updated with safety and precautionary regulations, procedures, and practices applicable to their work areas.
Our training is based on continuous employee education to truly understand the importance of complying with safety standards and the risks and threats to them and the organization for their lack of compliance.
Safety Education is delivered through video, mobile training, and immersive learning measures.
