IRVING, Texas – Highwire, a global risk-management and safety company, named CEC as one of its safest contractors with its gold safety award Monday.
The award is presented to companies who achieve between an 85- and 95-percent safety score in Highwire’s Safety Assessment Program. The program reviews a company’s historic safety performance and current safety management systems.
CEC has recently strengthened its long-standing commitment to safety with advanced leading-indicator-focused metrics, and the results have been spectacular. CEC lowered its total incidence rate to 0.9, and its days away incidence rate to 0.8. Both are less than half the industry average.
The improvement comes as CEC increased its workforce by 50 percent in 2021 and its work hours by 60 percent.
“Our ORM processes and job-hazard analysis have been a core part of our safety culture for years,” said Chad Waddill, safety director. “This year, our teams really bought into our safety messaging, and the results speak for themselves.”
