UCOR safety culture recognized
The Department of Energy (DOE) has again awarded United Cleanup Oak Ridge (UCOR) with the Department’s Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) “Star of Excellence.” The award recognizes UCOR’s commitment to keeping our workers safe as they do high-hazard work.
UCOR’s strong safety culture delivers injury and illness rates that are at least 75% lower than the industry average. UCOR is a multi-year repeat winner of the Star of Excellence. At the event the Voluntary Protection Program Participants’ Association also presented UCOR with its “Safety Innovation Award.” “This is the fifth consecutive year UCOR has won this award,” said Chief Safety and Security Officer Clint Wolfley.
“The award recognized our enhanced fall protection program, where employee input supported a new written, three-step hazard/risk analysis and planning process.”
