SUBCommittee

Safety Benchmarking

Areas of Focus

The AEIC Safety Benchmarking Subcommittee is an operational benchmarking forum for members across electric sector organizations to share best practices and gather insights on work methods, procedures, training, tools and technology, and culture-based activities that aim to mitigate and reduce occupational health and safety (OHS) risks.

The Subcommittee meets monthly—with at least two meetings a year held in person. Members identify benchmarking topics and facilitate review and discussion of the learnings in monthly meetings. Upon request, the Subcommittee will also coordinate in-depth peer reviews of member safety programs by independent teams comprising safety professionals from other member organizations and develop a forum for timely sharing of actual significant safety incident information including causal analysis and corrective actions.

The Subcommittee will maintain a central repository for benchmarking efforts, educational material, use cases, best practices, and other reference materials and provide a progress report and upcoming strategic initiatives at the AEIC Annual Meeting.

Members of this Subcommittee include executives (e.g., Director level) from operations functions within AEIC member companies. In addition, the Subcommittee will invite and include safety experts, utility subject matter experts, and experts from other industries or vendors as deemed necessary to enhance learning and information-sharing among members.
