| Fluor named one of America's Safest Companies Fluor Corporation was named as one of America's Safest Companies for 2006 by Occupational Hazards magazine. Both Fluor Corporate and Fluor Hanford, a unit of the Fluor Government Group that works for the U.S. Department of Energy in Washington State, were jointly recognized. Since 2002, Occupational Hazards magazine, a monthly publication of Penton Media, has been recognizing America's Safest Companies. Regardless of size or industry, the program is open to companies that can clearly demonstrate that their safety process includes support from management, involvement of employees, innovative solutions to safety challenges, injury and illness rates lower than the average for their industries, comprehensive educational programs for employees about safety-related topics, and good communication with workers about the value of safety. The 3,500 employees of Fluor Hanford and it subcontractors at the Department of Energy's Hanford Site in Washington state are engaged in one of the largest environmental cleanup projects in the world. From the 1940s to the 1980s, the site produced two-thirds of the country's supply of plutonium for national defense. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
