ANDALUSIA, ALA.– PowerSouth’s inside employees have again proven their awareness and dedication to safety — the company’s number one corporate value — by completing a full year without a lost-time injury, which means no employee within this group has missed work due to an injury suffered on the job.

Collectively, 297,025 safe hours were worked by multiple departments at the corporate headquarters in Andalusia, Ala.

“Our safety program is focused on you – getting home safely every day,” said PowerSouth President and CEO Gary Smith to employees during a celebratory safety luncheon Feb. 15. “Our program is successful because of your collective efforts to keep safety in the forefront.”

PowerSouth’s core values include safety, member relationships, reliable service, affordable wholesale power costs, community development and employee development.

“Mistakes not only hurt you, but others around you,” Smith said. “I applaud you for your safety record and look forward to another year of safe working practices.”

Departments celebrating the safety milestone include: Procurement Services, Bulk Power Services, Communications, Customer Response Center, Economic Development, Energy Resources, Energy Control Center, Environmental Services, Financial Planning, Fuels, Human Resources, Legal Affairs, Member Services, Transmission and Distribution Planning and Reliability, and President and CEO Staff.

“Our employees work together to carry out our safety program,” said PowerSouth Safety Manager Buddy Manring. “Our good safety record is only possible through their combined efforts and dedication to working safely.”
