Through total teamwork and commitment, on August 6, 2018, Perry Engineering achieved our goal of 1 million work hours without a lost workday injury. This journey took more than 4 years to achieve. It was accomplished through a multi-faceted approach including an increased emphasis on safety training for supervisory and field employees, implementation of safety suggestions from the field, employee rewards and recognition for safety accomplishments, creation of a strong safety committee with both management and field participation, frequent meetings with field-level employees to discuss work specific safety topics, creation of site specific safety plans to address the unique hazards of each site, increased inspections and prompt attention to identified problems, and thorough incident investigations to determine root causes and corrective actions, among other things. This would not have been possible without a total commitment to safety by top management which provided the funding, resources and time necessary to complete these tasks.
