DALLAS – June 29, 2009 – Luminant employees have kept safety a top priority in 2009, setting 22 significant new safety records in just six months.

The impressive number of safety milestones our employees have reached this year is evidence they’re doing just that,” said Mike Blevins, Luminant chief operating officer. “By covering safety in daily pre-shift meetings and engaging our workforce through a variety of on-site safety programs, employees are taking ownership of their own safe work practices and it’s making a difference.”
