JP Cullen Ends 2020 As Safest Year in Firm’s 129-Year History
In a year where safety has become the top priority for most worldwide, ending the year as the safest on record for the firm is a feat JP Cullen is ecstatic to share with its staff and clients. There are two metrics used for safety:
- Incident Rate or IR: a measure of how often a recordable injury or illness occurs over a specified period of time, typically one year
- Days Away, Restricted or Transferred or DART: metric to measure how many workplace injuries and illnesses required employees to miss work, perform restricted work activities or transfer to another job within a calendar year
With over 1,000,000 hours worked, JP Cullen finished the year with a 1.59 IR which is almost half of the national average of 3.0 and a DART of .20 far below the national average of 1.80.
“2020 was a year filled with many ups and downs. Safety is not a spectator sport and it takes a team effort to be able to accomplish what we did in 2020,” says George Cullen, Co-President. “Thank you to everyone for looking out for your fellow workers and keeping our job sites safe for our clients.”
