Powering Continuous Improvement: Driving Safety Excellence in the Electric Power Sector
H. Ricardo Moreno, Richard Eagles and Martin Kris
A year-over-year improvement in the frequency and severity of injuries and fatalities is an achievement worth celebrating, but the electric power sector needs to step up safety efforts to achieve continuous improvement.
The power industry is, by nature, fraught with high-hazard potential and recognized occupational risks. Thanks to the collective efforts of industry players and associations alike, the sector has gone through a steady year-over-year improvement in the frequency and severity of employee and contractor injuries and fatalities. This is certainly an achievement worth celebrating.
