3 Million Hours,
No Lost Time

March 2003 IBEW Journal

IBEW members at Enersource Corporation in Mississauga, Ontario, have passed 3 million hours of work without a lost-time injury, an Ontario record for the electricity distribution industry. Harold Vance, business representative of Local 636, Toronto, Ontario, said the record by the 230 employees at the Enersource-Hydro Mississauga unit dates back to October 1996.

Enersource Corporation says the 3 million hours exceed Ontario records by a wide margin. In utilities, the previous high is 1.44 million hours and among telephone and cable TV service providers, the best is in the 770,000 to 1.3 million range, according to figures compiled by Ontario’s Electric and Utility Safety Association.
