Twenty-six month safety accomplishment marks a new company record
For the first time in company history, Luminant's power plant fleet and supporting services have achieved 10 million safe work hours without a lost-time injury.
“The enormity of this achievement is not to be missed. Not only are we starting off 2010 with a tremendous reminder of the importance of safety – a direct link to operational excellence – we are proving that great goals are attainable,” said Mike Williams, Luminant's chief fossil officer. “I want to both thank and congratulate our employees for their dedication and focus on safety.”
The new record equals 26 months without a lost-time injury, defined as any on-the-job injury requiring a full day or more away from work. Roughly 2,200 employees at each of Luminant's 16 power plants, as well as departments including engineering and operational support, generation planning, environmental and administrative services contributed to the achievement.
