Walk through safety incidents that your peer utilities experienced, including findings from their root cause analyses. Look at how data and trends can show you where your safety culture stands and where there’s room for improvement. While you reflect on what you can do to prevent the same kind of incidents from occurring at your utility, get ideas for what works to boost accountability and improve safety performance.
