As our company continues to grow, we strive to keep a family atmosphere where we look out for one another both on and off the job site.

Communication Promotes Safety Excellence

USAD safety badge

Training Verification

At first glance, our company badge looks like any other. But when you scan the QR code, you gain access to the employee’s current training record, a company phone directory, the safety professional contact list, COVID communications, water cut cards, USA DeBusk handbooks and much more.

Within seconds, a badge scan by a customer during an audit verifies, on the spot, whether an employee has the current training to perform an activity. The system allows real-time migration of safety council training from across the nation into our training database and onto our badges.

There’s no more reliance on manual updates to employee training records and no need to inspect multiple badges for training verification.

USAD EHS system

EHS Management System

Our EHS Management System is a “one-stop-shop” application for all safety needs and can be accessed from any mobile device.

The real time dashboard displays a wealth of company safety statistics, including:

  • Standard operating procedures
  • Training classes
  • Incident reports
  • Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
  • Safety meeting sign-in sheets
  • Recognition program
  • Thousands of different types of reports

USAD Stop Work Card

Stop Work Obligation

The foundation of our safety program is a commitment to the “Stop Work Obligation” process as displayed on the back of every employee badge with the CEO signature.

Everyone at USA DeBusk—from senior leaders to technicians in the field to office personnel— has the obligation to stop work and intervene when necessary.

It is our moral obligation to look out for one another and assure everyone is afforded the opportunity to go home healthy and without injury.
