Employee Standards

Quality Electrical Construction contractors have long-term employee retention by providing health care and pension benefits along with continuing education and training. Baseline training consists of a minimum of 900 hours of classroom instruction, along with a minimum of 8,000 hours of hands-on job training.

Additional training is provided to both apprentices and journeymen to keep up with the rapidly changing technology. We also train for owner-specific needs and to meet ever- changing market demands.

Quality Electrical Construction promises you a drug-free work force on every electrical job. QEC electrical contractors are state-approved BWC substance abuse compliant.

Substance Abuse Testing Program
Lima Area Joint Apprenticeship and Training Program

Our Substance Abuse Testing Program
Because labor and management recognize the danger and costs which alcohol and drug abuse can create in terms of safety and productivity, Quality Electrical Construction focuses on a drug- and alcohol-free work force.

International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 32 and the Lima Division of the Western Ohio Chapter of the National Electrical Contractors Association are firmly committed to the safe and efficient performance of work in the electrical contracting industry. The safety and health of employees and the quality of workmanship are of paramount concern.

The use, possession, manufacture or distribution of alcohol and/or drugs is inconsistent with the achievement of these objectives; therefore, Quality Electrical Construction resolves to combat chemical abuse in any form and encourage every individual in the industry to join in this effort.

Quality Electrical Construction advocates fair rules of employment, dignity of workers and sensitivity for troubled or afflicted persons. Accordingly, Quality Electrical Construction will strive to alleviate substance impairment through generally accepted methods of testing, education and training, and rehabilitation. Furthermore, we recognize the need to insure privacy and confidentiality to the greatest extent possible consistent with the stated objectives of this program.

Apprenticeship and Training
The Lima Area Joint Apprenticeship and Training Program is jointly offered by IBEW Local 32 and the NECA. The program is funded by nine member contractors in Lima, Anna, Convoy, Delphos and Sidney which employs the apprentices during the five-year program.
