(April 29) An annual tradition, the Northwest Public Power Association Safety Award winners were announced today during the virtual 2021 Engineering & Operations Conference.
Safety contest awards are based upon a review of each utility’s safety contest form, the number of recordable injury/illness cases (the incident rate) in 2020, and the lost work days (the severity rate) in 2020.
The 2022 Safety Awards will be presented at the 2022 E&O in Spokane, Wash., April 11-14.
