<br />Colorado's Rural ElectricsSei
<br />Best Safety Mark in History
<br />Editor's 'note: CoIOJ'lldo's Rlll'ul Electric Assoclatlon ~rsOJJneJ set theil'
<br />outstanding sat.et)' record of all time during 18li~, with no fatalities or electric
<br />burns 01 any kl.nd.
<br />Bill Buckner, Colol'lldo State Safety and Job Training Director, Denver,
<br />below reports the details on this-record.
<br />BY BILL BUCKNJ!;R
<br />During 'the year 1956, Colorado Rural Electric projects have establlshed
<br />one of the most outstanding safety records of all times. During thls period
<br />ther have been able to show a marked Improvement by
<br />decreasing the number of days "lost time" due to accldents
<br />over any preCeding years of their organization.
<br />In addition to this remarkable safety reeord, they
<br />have been able to work a full 12 months without the
<br />-registration 01 a fatality or electric burn of anY kind.
<br />Our records. show, 10 addition to the all Importllnce 01
<br />s~ving human lives, they have made a subsumtlal savings
<br />to their bidividual projects.
<br />Operation coasts, as an example, show total cost of
<br />accidents in 1955 amounted to over $15,000 paid for
<br />medical costs. It would be conservative to estimate this
<br />Bill Buckner ligu're to be four times more if consideration were given ._
<br />to the loss ,of production, damaged equipment, loss of service, etc.
<br />A preliminary, figure for 1956 _can be expected not to ex~ ope-:fI1teenth
<br />of 1955 ~ts, :rn other words, the pPljects will have at least $14,000 over,
<br />for system Improvements or new equipment.
<br />As member-owners of the project serving, you, It Is evident that safety
<br />training la ,good sound business not to consider .the humane approach of
<br />saving lives of thEl people who mak~ electrlc service possible.
