CLP Resources honoured cadmium telluride manufacturer First Solar for the company's commitment to safety, extraordinary safety record and safety partnership efforts
CLP recognised eighteen customers across the country as its 2011 Safety Partners from among the thousands it worked with last year and First Solar ranked number 1 nationally.
The award took into account hours worked, hours between incidents, overall safety performance of CLP’s employees on the customer’s jobsite, and safety culture.
“Having a workforce that is knowledgeable and safe is imperative, and something we take very seriously,” said Eric Feinberg, vice president of strategic markets at CLP. “First Solar joins us in our commitment to safe workplaces and has consistently proven that safety is one of their highest priorities. We’re proud to do business with a company so dedicated to the safety of all its employees.”
“’Safety First’ tops the list of First Solar’s core values, so we’re proud to be recognised for what we have achieved,” said Jim Lamon, senior vice president of engineering, procurement and construction at First Solar. “We are fanatics about safety, so it’s great to work with firms like CLP that share our uncompromising commitment to safety in everything we do.”
