1 Results of the 2009 Safety Survey Presented to The Hydraulic Power Committee Birmingham, Alabama October 14,

2 What s Different in 2009? Seventeen companies responded (11 last year) 55,311 MW represented 5,660 employees 10.6 Million work hours Data from ( ) Partnership in survey with EUCG (Electric Utility Cost Group) Survey in the form of a part 1 core and part 2 additional information. No big changes in information, only in the execution of the survey and data analysis. 2

3 Participants: Seventeen companies Alabama Power Ameren Safe Harbor Water and Power First Light PS&G Tacoma Power TVA OPG (Ontario Power) responded USACE Alcoa Avista Exelon Minnesota Power PPL Holtwood South Feather WE energy 3

4 The 2009 Survey Questions centered around ( ): OSHA Rate for Hydro vs. all generation Severity of incident Age at the time of the incident Contributing Factors Time of day are incidents happening? Trends? 4

5 General Trends One fatality Number of medical attention/injuries decreasing. Number of lost time cases flattened. OSHA Recordable rate and lost time rate show steep increase year over year then a sudden downturn in First aids climbing Hydro Generation slightly under performs fossil by comparison. 5

6 2008- A look at last year 2007 = =

7 2009- Rate Calculated OSHA rate for Hydro compared to OSHA rate for all of generation OSHA Recordable rate for all of generation OSHA Recordable rate for Hydro Only

8 2009 Number of Incidents, note decline in last year OSHA Statistics First Aid OSHA Rec Lost Time

15 2009 Mid-Week is still what the data is telling us. Hydro Injuries by Day of Week Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday

20 2009 Hydro Injuries by Body Part Hand Head Leg Head Neck Arm Hand Body Back Leg Foot Other

22 2009 Injuries by Type of Injury Laceration Fracture Cumulative Trauma Eye Injury Sprain Burn Chemical Contact Bee Sting Other

23 2009- changed scale Injuries by Type of Injury 25 Lacerations declining Hearing? Eye Injuries on upswing 5 0 Laceration Fracture Cumulative Trauma Eye Injury Sprain Burn Chemical Contact Bee Sting Other

24 Continuous Improvement Where should we direct our efforts? Is there a general profile? Is there a more dangerous Time of day? Working Age? Day of week? Are there contributing factors? 24

25 Statistical Profile Tuesdays Work stops/starts Increasing eye injuries, leg injuries Decreasing laceration injuries Focus (lack of concentration) Injury to eye, cuts to hand, leg injuries 25

26 Action Plan/ Business Plan Ideas Re-focus employees after lunch or breaks. Hold Safety Stand-downs mid-week (counter intuitive). Hold soft tissue prevention workshops for employees on safety days. Focus on eye safety. Dust risk, spoggles, shields, how to remove PPE when dusty. Share data with Employees for heightened awareness. Hold employee focus groups to review data and look for other opportunities. 26

27 Next Year? Discussion 27

28 Recommendations Add Hearing as an injury type Keep age, but note it s limited use Continue to look back at past years Keep EUCG as a partner! Special thanks to EUCG and Chris Utracki for his help in the data collection, design and analysis. 28
