Greene’s Energy Group, LLC (GEG) has introduced Mission Zero as a company-wide safety process with a key focus of eliminating at-risk behaviours. Encompassing office and field personnel, Mission Zero engages the company’s workforce to embrace a culture of safety that achieves zero incidents and benefits customers, the company and employees.
Not only does Mission Zero demonstrate GEG’s efforts toward a zero incident rate, but it includes measureable and practical checkpoints for employees to keep safety at the forefront such as recognition and awards, a mentoring programme, posted safety data, sub-contractor management, accurate reporting and drug and alcohol testing.
GEG will engage the Zero Injury Institute® (ZII), to conduct internal evaluations of the safety programme content, process and culture. ZII’s team will also visit various operating areas and conduct confidential interviews to target topics for discussion at an upcoming Mission Zero workshop.
"Mission Zero changes our safety value forever – we are a zero injury company with the core value of ‘Safety First and Foremost’,” said Robert Vilyus, Chief Executive Officer of GEG. "As a whole, we pledge to stop at risk behaviour through involvement, recognition, appreciation and mentoring. Management is committed to the success of this continual process, and worker participation is crucial. We’ve already seen an overwhelmingly positive response, and we look forward Greene’s Energy Group becoming the safest company in the industry.”
