Arctic Directory: NSTI celebrates excellence in safety milestone
North Slope Telecom Inc. recently achieved two significant safety milestones: 1 million hours with no lost time injuries and five years with no recordable injuries. These milestones are especially impressive considering they were accomplished while climbing and erecting communications towers in extreme environments such as the North Slope of Alaska or building communications shelters on remote mountaintops only accessible by helicopter.
NSTI’s proven risk management protocols and procedures used to control the hazards encountered ensure continued success. A constant focus on employee safety and on responsibility towards the environment is a key element of all NSTI operations.
“Our employees work hard and take safety seriously. These accomplishments are a direct result of that. It makes me proud to have all of them as members of our team,” said Dave Smith, vice president North Slope Telecom Inc.
North Slope Telecom Inc. is a contracting and consulting firm specialized in the design, construction, and maintenance of telecommunications systems. NSTI’s capabilities include system design and integration of local and wide area networks via satellite, terrestrial microwave, VHF/UHF radio, fiber optics and copper.
