Idaho Cleanup Contractor Surpasses 2-Million-Hour Safety Milestone

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - EM’s cleanup contractor at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Site recently reached a safety benchmark by exceeding 2 million hours without a lost workday due to reported illness or injury. This achievement comes after Fluor Idaho received a VPP Star re-certification and Superior VPP Star award last year. “Our worker-owned safety programs as well as our injury and illness prevention initiatives have been very beneficial,” Fluor Idaho Environmental Safety, Security and Health Director Kliss McNeel said.
