“Springfields’ participation in the Quest for Zero and drive to
reduce risks and eliminate hazards has been extraordinary,” said
José Emeterio Gutiérrez, interim president and chief executive
officer, in presenting the award on April 25. “Their efforts toward
continual risk identification and hazard elimination have led to
more than 2.3 million hours worked without a Westinghouse
recordable injury.”
The site shares lessons learned companywide and also integrates
them into daily operations. This is one of the many characteristics
that led to the facility’s recommendation for ISO 14001:2015
certification, making Springfields the first Westinghouse site to
achieve this status.
Additionally, employees at Springfields were recently honored
for their safety efforts by RoSPA, the Royal Society for the
Prevention of Accidents. Springfields has been recognized 17 years
in succession by RoSPA, receiving the prestigious Order of
Distinction this year after receiving 16 consecutive Gold Awards
from the organization.
