Bandera Electric Cooperative (BEC) was recently recognized for working 3,452 days without a lost-time accident by the end of 2021.
TEC presented the Safety Achievement Award to BEC’s Loss Control Coordinator Tim Landes at their most recent Conference.
“Employee engagement with safety and recognizing and eliminating hazards was the key to this success,” said Landes. “BEC bases safety on quality of life. We want every employee to go home safe at the end of the day. I think it’s the quality of life that motivates employees to take safety seriously.”
According to a press release, BEC’s last lost time incident occurred in July of 2012. Landes said this recent award is motivation to keep striving for more on-the-job safety hours.
“Honestly it’s the next minute that counts,” said Landes. “I would love to see BEC reach the two million mark without a lost time accident.”
