CEAÂ’s PresidentÂ’s Award of Excellence
By promoting safety, this award has assisted CEA members in meeting their objectives of accident reduction and overall performance.
"As we all know there is risk in the day-to-day lives of almost everyone, however the risks of the average electric utility employee are typically higher than the normal worker. This is related to the type of work undertaken and the product delivered to customers", said Hans Konow, CEA President and CEO.
"The President's Award of Excellence recognizes the exceptional record of employee safety achieved by CEA member electric utilities."
To receive the President's Award, a reporting utility must be ranked within the top quartile of their grouping for both All Injury/Illness Frequency and Lost-Time Severity rates. There are three award levels: Bronze for the companies who meet the award criteria for the given year; Silver for meeting the criteria two consecutive years; and Gold for three or more consecutive years.
Congratulations are extended to the following companies who have attained the President's Award of Excellence for Employee Safety:
Gold Award
