Columbia Basin Electric Co op

Its employees have been pre
sented an award from "Employ.
era Insurance of Wausau" for
"Exceptional achievement in ac
cident prevention." The system
had no disabling injuries from
the jer!od of January 26, 1DG5
to December 31, 1970. Its em
plovers worked a total of 223,
274 man-hours during this per
iod. K. R. Kasrr, a safety con
sultant for the insurance compa
ny, made the presentation.
The figure of 233,274 man
hours worked without a time
loss accident Is very Impressive.
A good portion of these hours
is under the very worst possi
ble winter conditions.
'The nature of the electrical
business means the men must
be called out during the worst
of wind and rain storms and
when lee Is bad on the lines.
At a time like this it would be
very easy for a man who 13 pre
occupied with the work he Is
doing to get careless and be In
volved In a serious accident.
About the safety factor, Har
ley Young, CBE manager said,
"We believe there is much good
to be said for the safety program
that we strive to hold each
month at our building with the
holn nf Hnmf nf the Deoole from
Kurallte who furnish us with
information and help in con
ducting the meetings about four
times a year."
