The job our line workers do is even more remarkable
when you stop to consider that each and
every one of them put their lives on the line every
day they come to work. Their job is rated as one of
the most dangerous in the United States. That’s
why, when we put our guiding principles on paper,
number one on our list was a commitment the safety
of our workforce and the general public. The board
and management team do what we can to provide
them the best tools and training so that they can
perform the job safely, but it’s up to each worker to
execute the duties of his or her position in a safe
manner. I’m pleased to report that in 2016 our team
delivered. No lost time accidents occurred, and we
were not required to report any instances of days
away from work, restricted duty, or transfers due to
an on-the-job accident or injury. We hope you
will join us in thanking the many line workers––both
locally and around the world––that light our lives.
Remember, your power works because they do.
