The Illinois-based National Safety Education Center, an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Training Institute Education Center, awarded its 2009 Safety Excellence Award to CWLP's Safety Leadership Council (SLC). This award is reserved for those employers who have shown dedication to their employees through their commitment to providing ongoing safety and health education.

 

Between the summer of 2008 and the fall of 2009, approximately 477 CWLP employees attended the 10-hour OSHA General Industry Outreach course and 112 supervisors attended the 30-hour OSHA Occupational Safety and Health Standards for General Industry course.

 

CWLP's SLC was established in June 2007 by CWLP General Manager Todd Renfrow for the primary purpose of improving workplace safety across all utility divisions. Since then, CWLP has had 25% fewer OSHA-reported incidents.
