Success Stories TelevideoSuccess Stories: Achieving SC Injury Rate Reduction GoalsWednesday, June 21, 2006 The agenda is as follows: 1. Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) Construction Project. The $2 Billion SNS construction project was recently completed on schedule and under budget, while maintaining injury rates within the best 25th percentile for construction. With a DART rate of 0.20 in 2004, the SNS had the lowest DART rate of all SC laboratories and projects. Les Price, Doug Paul, and Frank Kornegay will share with us their approach and experiences in achieving low injury rates for construction subcontractors.
2. Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL). In 2001, PPPL had the highest DART rate of all SC laboratories at 4.35. By 2005, PPPL had reduced its DART rate to 0.23 and has not had a DART case since November 2004. Jerry Faul, Leif Deitrich, and Jack Anderson will share with us their experiences in reducing their DART rate over 90% during a four year period.
