The American Gas Association (AGA) recognized PECO as a 2015
Industry Leader in Accident Prevention for the company’s premier
safety performance. Each year, the AGA recognizes member companies
that have achieved a days away from work, restricted or transferred
(DART) incident rate below the industry average by company type at
the AGA Operations Conference.
“At PECO, the safety of our employees and our customers always
comes first,” said Ron Bradley, vice president of PECO Gas
Operations. “This award is a testament to PECO’s unwavering
commitment to safety and exemplifies the hard work and dedication
of our employees to keep safety at the forefront of everything we
do.”
Bradley also serves as the chairman of the AGA Operations
Section and was recognized with the Silver Award of Merit and the
Gild of Ancient Supplers Award, for his ongoing involvement and
support of natural gas industry initiatives.
The DART incident rate is a mathematical calculation of
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)-recordable
injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time employees that resulted in
days away from work or restricted work activity. PECO’s
overall DART incident rate of .42 is one of the lowest injury rates
in the industry.
This is the latest in a series of safety awards for PECO. The
company also has been recognized with the Southeastern Electric
Exchange Total Company Safety Award and three job safety awards
from the Energy Association of Pennsylvania.
