ST. PAUL, Minn. – July 15, 2025 – Data Center Safety Council (DCSC) announced its newest Strategic Corporate Member, QTS, joining previously announced Founding Members EdgeCore, Oracle, STACK Infrastructure, Salesforce, Vantage Data Centers and Yondr and Strategic Corporate Members CBRE, Digital Realty, and Flexential.
The purpose of DCSC is to form a unified approach towards ensuring safety and wellbeing of personnel in data center operations. The industry has seen a period of rapid growth adding urgency to the need for standardization of best practices, knowledge sharing and collaboration, and defining resources for training and development. The recognition of safety hazards associated with these complex, and sometimes multi-employer spaces has only emerged over the past five to seven years. Implementing company-wide health and safety programs designed to mitigate risks has posed challenges. DCSC provides advocacy for aligning health and safety regulations and addressing operational health and safety challenges in a consistent approach.
“QTS is proud to join the Data Center Safety Council in its mission to elevate health and safety standards across our industry,” said Barry Clegg, QTS Chief Safety and Infrastructure Officer. “As data centers become increasingly complex and essential to global infrastructure, it’s more important than ever to ensure the well-being of the people who design, build, commission and operate them. We look forward to collaborating with our peers to drive meaningful improvements that benefit our workforce and the broader industry.”
QTS has more than 75 data centers in operation or under development across the United States and Europe. The data center provider holds a 20-year track record of designing, building and operating world-class data centers, delivering the critical infrastructure for the world’s largest and fastest-growing companies.
The members of the Data Center Safety Council are all leaders in the industry and well-positioned to create collective global action and consistency for the industry as a whole. DCSC invites its data center industry peers to join this mission as we continue to grow. DCSC is facilitated by Antea Group.
