This priority also extends to contractors working on behalf of United as they must also comply with company safety rules and regulations. Additionally, we include contractor representation in our monthly Safety Action Team meetings to share risks and provide project updates.
Each year, targets are set that drive action and accountability. Achieving targets involves implementing comprehensive safety programs, providing regular training, conducting risk assessments, and promoting a culture of safety awareness. Our teams are continually testing and implementing initiatives geared toward enhancing safety protocols, improving protective personal equipment and ergonomics, use of automation and enhancing tools that encourage employee reporting of potential hazards.
We track, trend and monitor various types of injuries such as overexertion, head injuries, heat-related injuries and slips, trips and falls.
Since 2022, we achieved a 7% reduction in our OSHA recordable injury rate. We are working diligently to keep the momentum going for 2025 by focusing on initiatives and campaigns focused on ergonomics, safe driving behaviors and awareness about slip and fall prevention.
