$0.31 Injury Cost Per Man Hours Worked!

Good morning to all I.D.I. employees:  I just wanted to make everyone aware of some good news for everyone in the company.  As you all know, we have 7 major safety goals that we discuss at every quarterly safety meeting and throughout the year.  Some of our safety goals are lofty, however, they are lofty for a very important reason.  The goals are lofty for your safety.  One of the goals that I want to highlight today is our Injury Cost Per Man Hours Worked Goal which is to be at $0.50 injury cost per man hours worked or better.  Due to having zero injuries the past 2 months, due to having only 1 lost time injury during our current insurance policy year and due to all injured workers being fully healed, released to full duty and from medical care, we together as a team have driven our injury cost per man hours worked down to $0.31. 

First of all, great job to everyone in the company for all pulling on the same rope and in the same direction to make this happen.  We cannot let our guard down though.  We still have 3 1/2 weeks to go in our current insurance policy year which ends on 10/31/11.  Let's all do everything we can to go injury free over the next 3 1/2 weeks.  If we can do this, we will exceed this safety goal.  Again, this is good for every single person in the company as this can help to reduce our E.M.R. or insurance costs which can lead to helping us to bid more competitively.  The more competitively we can bid, the more work we can obtain, the more employees we can get back to work during this cruddy economy we are in.  Should you have any questions regarding this goal or safety in general, please contact our Safety Director, Peter Graham.  You can reach him by e-mail at pgraham@4idi.com. 

Have a Safe Day!
