The electricity industry is an unforgiving, potentially hazardous environment where a single wrong move could result in a series of dangerous events. 

To make sure every employee goes home safe and sound, Hydro One is committed to fostering a work environment where health and safety are the top priorities each and every day. This work culture guarantees that the right people are trained for the right jobs. It also maintains the safety of all Hydro One employees and Ontarians. 

## OHSAS 18001 CERTIFICATION 

In June 2013, Hydro One was certified in the internationally recognized Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) 18001 standard. This prestigious certification further enforces the Company’s commitment to creating a culture of zero workplace injuries.

## HEALTH AND SAFETY PERFORMANCE RECOGNITION 

The aim of the 2013 Health and Safety Performance Recognition program was to celebrate individual and team safety milestone achievements throughout the Company, as well as to improve the employee health and safety performance recognition process. 

## INJURY-FREE WORKPLACE 

Hydro One has seen a steady decrease in both “near misses” (high Maximum Reasonable Potential for Harm incidents) and the number of preventable motor vehicle accidents year-over-year. As in previous years, Hydro One used medical attentions as a performance indicator to measure its injury-free workplace goal in 2013. This is in line with the Company’s strategic objectives and its Journey to Zero initiatives. 

Medical attentions are defined as injuries that require treatment by a medical practitioner and are reported to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board. The indicator is calculated as the number of attentions per 200,000 hours worked. In 2013, Hydro One reported 2.5 incidents per 200,000 hours worked.
