Questions & Answers:

Q: What tools do I need?
A: Listed below are the minimum tools required for entry level employees, and for those with four or more years of experience. Meisner realizes tools are an expensive investment. This is why we offer an Employee Tool Purchase Assistance program, allowing you to have weekly installments deducted from your paycheck.

Q: Is any special safety equipment required?
A: You are responsible for long pants and approved work boots. For a one-time refundable deposit of $10.00, Meisner provides you with t-shirts, an approved hard hat, safety glasses, and gloves. Most other safety equipment is provided by the company, including safety harnesses, ear plugs, first aid kit, etc.

Q:  Electricity is dangerous and deadly. Do I have to work on live circuits?
A: It is forbidden to work on live circuits at Meisner Electric. The Employee Tool List requires even an entry level employee to have a voltage sensor to prevent this kind of injury. You will never be asked to perform this task.

If you are, company policy states you have the right to refuse this task and report it to the Safety Department, without fear of retribution of your job or future promotion.

Meisner maintains a heavily enforced Lockout / Tag out program. Even ‘common neutrals’ are addressed in our Weekly Safety Training Program. So if you elect to work a circuit hot, you will be in direct violation of company policy.

Q: Do I have to wear a hard hat at work?
A: In most cases, yes. OSHA states head protection must be used when circumstances require one. Many General Contractors are beginning to require 100% compliance. Also, Meisner requires that you wear your safety glasses any time you are drilling, chipping, cutting concrete, or using compressed air. Gloves must be worn whenever you are working in metal studs, installing light fixtures, panel cans, or pulling wire.

So be safe, stick around, and let’s grow better together!
