Safety
The safety and well-being of all Southwestern Power Administration employees is a firm and continuing responsibility of every member of management. Each employee, in turn, shares with management the responsibility for his or her own safety by performing his or her duties in a safe and conscientious manner, complying with all safety rules and regulations, and observing the provisions of Executive Order 12196, “Occupational safety and health programs for Federal employees.”
Southwestern's Recordable Accident Frequency Rate (RAFR) for Calendar Year 2008 (Jan - Dec 2008) was 0.67, and for Fiscal Year 2008 (Oct 2007 - Sep 2008) the RAFR was 0.0. Additionally, 2008 marked the sixteenth consecutive year, over 4.9 million man-hours worked, without any electrical-related recordable accidents – a significant achievement for an organization where approximately one half of the workforce operates in a high-voltage electrical environment.
