In the world of finance, zero is usually not a good thing. But when it comes to safety, zero can be a very good thing and T&B's Power Solutions manufacturing facility in Richmond, Va., has reason to be proud of its Zero safety record.
Since July 1, 2011, the Power Solutions facility has logged 393,618 man-hours (365 days) without a lost-time injury or recordable accident.
Donald Peterson, director of operations for Power Solutions, credits much of the accomplishment to the daily emphasis on safety training and education and the Zero Accident Culture (ZAC) initiative that the facility kicked off last year. ZAC focuses on helping employees identify unsafe behaviors and remain conscious of their environment and potentially dangerous situations.
"We focus on safety from the top down and the bottom up," said Donald. "We can celebrate this significant achievement because of our employee's commitment to ensuring that we have the best safety processes and procedures in place at all times."
The Richmond facility includes approximately 190 employees who produce a broad range of products designed to ensure a high quality, reliable flow of power to commercial and industrial customers for mission critical applications such as datacenters.
