In the last four years, Terry Nay, director of safety & operational excellence at UNS Energy Corp., has taken a three-pronged approach to worker health, emphasizing: safety-leadership training; a behavioral-based safety program within the workforce; and a safety-process auditing system.

Under Nay's watch, the company's lost-work-day rate fell from 3.51 to 1.56 since 2008.  

UNS holds safety-orientation meetings with all contractors and instructs them on its accident-reporting policies before they are allowed on the premises of either of the company's two primary generation plants or more than 30 electric substations.
