In 2015, there were 39 work-related fatalities in the utility and power industry, a jump from 33 the previous year. In addition, 2016 saw more than two injury and illness cases per 100 full-time workers. That’s more than 2% of utility workers becoming sick or injured while on the job.
These numbers show that despite revising regulations and advances in EHS programs, there is still plenty of room for improvement. A good start is to provide your workers a few best safety practices to help them make better decisions that can keep both your employees and your company safe.
