Safe & Trusted Commercial Electrical Contractor in Birmingham, AL
Wired for Business
At 1Point Electric, safety is the foundation of how we work. From parking lot lighting installations to complex warehouse upgrades, every job is planned and executed with rigorous attention to safety protocols.
Our electricians follow state and federal guidelines, meet OSHA requirements, and operate under strict internal standards designed to protect people, property, and productivity. Whether we’re troubleshooting circuits or retrofitting lighting in high-traffic areas, safety is built into every step of the process.
We perform risk assessments before starting work, use job-specific PPE, and guarantee that our crews are trained in both NFPA 70E and site-specific safety requirements. We also coordinate with general contractors, facility managers, and other trades to maintain a safe and orderly job site.
1Point Electric is fully licensed and insured in the state of Alabama. We hold our team to the highest professional and safety standards because every successful project starts with protecting the people behind it.
How Safety Drives Professionalism on the Job Site
Clients remember who shows up prepared, and nothing reflects professionalism more than a crew that takes safety seriously. From the first walk-through to final inspection, 1Point Electric follows structured safety practices that keep projects moving smoothly and teams working efficiently.
Our electricians arrive ready with the right PPE, marked work zones, and a clear understanding of job-specific risks. That preparation helps us collaborate better with other trades, avoid delays, and limit disruptions on active sites.
It’s not just about preventing injuries, but about setting a standard. When your electrical contractor treats safety as a priority, the rest of the job tends to follow suit.
Electrical Safety FAQs
Safety has been part of our workflow from day one. Before we begin any commercial electrical project, we review the scope, walk the site, and identify potential risks tied to equipment, layout, and access. Our team prepares accordingly, selecting proper tools, verifying system status, and coordinating schedules to avoid unplanned disruptions.
We follow OSHA regulations and adhere to all required procedures, including lockout/tagout, PPE use, and circuit verification. By treating safety as part of daily operations and not a separate task, we reduce the chances of delays, property damage, or injury. Our job isn’t finished until the site is left in safe, working condition.
Yes. Our electricians receive commercial safety training that covers equipment handling, fall protection, confined space awareness, and circuit safety.
- Code & Compliance: We follow the National Electrical Code and OSHA jobsite safety requirements on every project.
- Ongoing Training: We reinforce commercial safety practices year-round with toolbox talks, refresher sessions, and safety briefings at project kickoff.
Training is a constant part of how we prepare and perform electrical work. Each team member understands how to work around other trades, operate in active buildings, and adjust to site-specific hazards.
We frequently work in buildings that remain open during installation or service. That includes warehouses, schools, multi-tenant offices, and municipal properties. Our team creates physical barriers around work areas, labels circuits clearly, and uses warning signage and access control when needed.
We also coordinate shutdowns in advance with building managers and other trades to reduce disruption. Electrical work often affects more than one system, so we take extra care to ensure that lighting, power, or data outages are scheduled and not accidental.
Every job starts with clear specs that meet Alabama’s licensing requirements and follow the National Electrical Code. We review the required materials, confirm load capacities, and make sure the design supports system performance now and in the future.
- Verified Materials: We install rated, code-approved components for all electrical systems.
- Documented Inspections: All work is internally reviewed and ready for third-party or municipal inspection when required.
Code compliance protects both people and property. That’s why we build it into the planning process from start to finish.
Safety is the core of how our team works. From the field to the office, we expect everyone to participate in identifying risks, communicating changes, and stopping work when something doesn’t look right. That includes leadership, project managers, and technicians alike.
Our goal is to avoid near misses before they happen. We do that by giving our team time to think through their work, space to speak up, and the tools to handle the job safely. It’s a shared mindset that benefits everyone on site.
