Greg McIntire accepts CEO Target Zero Award from Jacque Hinman. Also attending were HSSE Director Britt Howard and interns Kaitlin Bloom and Barbara Hollo de Andrade
In recognition of achieving a remarkable safety milestone – 5 million work hours without a recordable incident – the WBG received the CEO Target Zero Award, presented to Greg McIntire, WBG president, and Denny Southam, WBG Health, Safety & Environment lead, at the August 4 Management Committee meeting in Denver.
“This is a huge accomplishment for not only the WBG, but for the company as well,” said Britt Howard, director of Health, Safety, Security & Environment. “The team is prepared, focused, and committed, making sure everyone around them is, too. Congratulations on such a notable accomplishment!”
To put this achievement into perspective, one employee working an average of 2,000 hours per year would have to work 2,500 years to reach 5 million work hours! This is a significant milestone not only for the WBG, but also for the entire company, as Target Zero safety performance is modeled across business groups and projects. This achievement also demonstrates CH2M’s continued commitment as an industry leader that cares for our clients, our colleagues, and our communities. Our employees continue to exemplify their safety commitment not only by what they do every day, but HOW they do it.
“All of this would not be possible without the continually growing expressed support from your leadership and dedication to these same Target Zero goals,” said Chairman and CEO Jacque Hinman to Greg McIntire. “An achievement of this magnitude is important to CH2M because it strengthens our firm and ensures that our people are safe, and our clients receive the best service possible. This achievement contributes to our continued global leadership in the industry and our Target Zero goals.”
