Illinois American Water’s Sterling District is celebrating 6
years of safety excellence. The local team celebrated over 2,100
days without experiencing any lost time accidents on Dec. 8,
2021.
Illinois American Water employees work around the clock to
deliver safe, reliable water and/or wastewater service to homes and
businesses. Employees may need to work in confined spaces, among
motorists and in extreme weather. Employees may also handle
chemicals, conduct excavation and operate equipment.
Charlotte Dunne, operations superintendent for the Sterling
District, credited the local team for their commitment. “There is
nothing more important than our colleagues going home in the same
condition they arrived at work, if not better. There is no room for
shortcuts when it comes to safety. We look out for each other while
we work hard to deliver critical service for public health, fire
protection and more.”
Illinois American Water employees attend safety training on a
regular basis and are provided personal protective equipment (PPE)
to support safe work practices. Both hands-on training and online
classes are included in company safety training. Employees are also
provided work zone protective equipment, chemical handling
requirements and more to support safe work practices.
Employees also participate in the Company’s Near Miss Program to
help identify possible unsafe working conditions. The Near Miss
reports are investigated, and corrective actions are applied and
shared across the company to benefit the safety of all
employees.
