Section VI - Summary <br /> The American Public Power Association encourages each utility to review the overall combined <br /> utility statistics along with the statistics for their utility grouping. For example, a small utility that <br /> falls into Group A may find it useful to compare itself to the overall combined data in order to <br /> track their safety performance against all public power utilities across the United States. Yet, <br /> this same utility may not find the actual breakdown of Group H data to be of interest. (A <br /> comparison of a 15,000 worker-hour utility to a 4,000,000 worker-hour utility may not provide <br /> any insightful information.) However, the 15,000 worker-hours of exposure per year utility should <br /> find value in comparing itself directly to any data provided for Group A. <br /> The American Public Power Association provides the data presented in this report for use by its <br /> members in aggregate form only. The individual names of the utilities that have entered the <br /> Awards are confidential. Each year, The Association releases only the names of those utilities <br /> that have received Awards recognition, in addition to their calculated incidence rate and worker- <br /> hours for the given year. <br /> Since greater numbers of entrants enhance the value of the Safety Awards for all utilities <br /> involved, The Association again encourages all members to continue submitting data on a <br /> yearly basis, regardless of the number of accidents/injuries that have occurred over the <br /> calendar year. <br /> We welcome comments and suggestions on how to make this report better, as we strive to <br /> improve the accuracy and readability with each edition.
