SAFETY: The TXU Priority

“Safety is TXU’s first operational priority. Our employees and customers deserve the best in safety performance.”
— C. John Wilder, Chief Executive
Electricity demonstration.
Electricity demonstrations for groups including the Boy Scouts of America help educate TXU communities about the need for safety around power lines.
TXU is serious about the safety of its employees, contractors, customers and the general public. Safety has to be paramount, and it is.

Although TXU attained top-quartile safety performance in 2004 when measured against its peers, the company is focused on achieving an even better record in 2005 and beyond. TXU posted a 19% improvement over 2003 in the Lost Time Incident Rate, but DART Incident and Preventable Vehicle Accident Incident rates remain an area for enhancement in 2005. TXU’s aim is to reach the top 10% in safety performance.
DART (Days Away, Restricted Duty or Transferred) Incident Rate Comparison – TXU compares favorably to benchmark statistics published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Edison Electric Institute.  This rate measures the number of lost time and restricted duty injuries plus the number of employee transfers due to injury per 200,000 employee hours worked. Lost Time Incident Rate Comparison – TXU compares favorably to benchmark statistics published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Edison Electric Institute.  This rate measures the number of injuries requiring time away from the job per 200,000 employee hours worked. Preventable Vehicle Accident Incident Rate Comparison – TXU compares unfavorably to benchmark statistics published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Edison Electric Institute.  This rate is the nationally accepted standard of chargeable accidents times one million, divided by miles driven.
