PCEMC Claims Safety Trophy for Second Year Straight

and also claims multiple safety awards at statewide banquet

      Pointe Coupee Electric Membership Corporation (PCEMC) recently claimed the coveted Louisiana Electric Cooperative Statewide Safety Trophy for the second straight year.

    The trophy is presented annually by the Association of Louisiana Electric Cooperatives (ALEC) in Baton Rouge.

    The locally-owned cooperative was recognized at ALEC’s annual membership meeting held at the Baton Rouge Hilton July 24-26. It was PCEMC’s seventh time to take home the trophy since 1987.

    PCEMC was recognized for working over 414, 070 man-hours without a lost-time accident since September of 2006, a figure that includes emergency restoration work after storms and other adverse conditions. Over 330,000 miles were also driven by PCEMC personnel without an accident during the previous 12 months.

    PCEMC General Manager J.H. “Jodie” Cotten, along with several employees and board members were on hand to accept the Statewide Safety Trophy on behalf of everyone involved with making the co-op a state and national leader in safety.

    “There’s no doubt that safety is a true team effort, and the credit goes to all of our employees who make safety a priority in performing their day-to-day tasks,” said Cotten, who also accepted the Statewide Lineman Trophy for winning the Statewide Safety Award for 2010. “Our success begins with our member-elected leadership at the board level and runs throughout the co-op. Everyone plays a role.”

    Cotten said the co-op places a premium on safety not only to protect the health and well-being of employees, members and the public at-large, but also because it makes good economic sense.

    “When you can create an effective culture of safety, everybody wins,” he said. “Not only do all of our employees get to go home to their families at the end of the work day, but it also keeps our costs down when it comes to insurances rates and other expenses.”

    The Statewide Safety Trophy is determined by using a comprehensive formula that accounts for safe operation on the job including field work, warehouse work, transportation and all other aspects necessary to deliver reliable, affordable power to PCEMC members.
