Safety & quality
you can document.
Utilities can only put in service what they can trust, and what they can document. Southern Switch & Contacts is prequalified on the contractor-safety platforms utilities rely on. Here’s how we keep both sides covered.
No shortcuts
inside the fence.
Working inside an energized substation leaves no room for shortcuts. Our crews follow utility safety requirements and work the right way on every job, and we keep our contractor-safety prequalification current with the platforms utilities rely on. Southern Switch & Contacts is an approved vendor for multiple utilities in both ISN (ISNetworld) and Avetta, so the compliance paperwork is already in place before we mobilize. Our Experience Modification Rate (EMR) of 0.82 (current through 12/11/2026) reflects a safety record better than the industry baseline of 1.0. That commitment extends to what we build: our patented UGOR gear operator is in service on Florida Power & Light switch installs and new station builds.
