More than 100,000 field service hours - Total Recordable Incident Rate of 0%
(Wareham, MA) October 20, 2021 – LoCI Controls, Inc., the leader in automated landfill gas (LFG) collection, announced today that the company has achieved a Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) of 0%, with over 100,000 safe hours worked in support of our customers landfill gas collection operations. A US measure of occupational safety and health, the TRIR assesses safety incidents as a comparison of workplace conditions. LoCI Controls, Inc. has not had a single a lost time incident in its history, meaning to date no Loci employee has sustained a work-related injury or illness which resulted in loss time.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers with more than ten employees to maintain a record of serious work-related injuries and illnesses. According to the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS), the national average for TRIR is 3.1%. For small companies with up to 49 employees, the average is 2.4%. The BLS average for the landfill industry is 4.2%.
LoCI’s technology reduces the amount of time personnel must spend in the landfill itself, which is a dynamic and hazardous environment to work in; it reduces odors associated with emissions; and it also reduces Non-Methane Organic Compound emissions, which have adverse human health consequences.
“This is an exceptional milestone, and is a testament to Loci’s safety conscious and dedicated employees,” said Peter Quigley, CEO of LoCI Controls, Inc.
“LoCI has been focused on creating a culture of safety throughout the organization by empowering our employees to do whatever it takes to achieve it,” added LoCI’s Director of Operations, Tom Lindsay. “A low TRIR translates to a more effective and cohesive working environment benefitting both our work in the field and in-house manufacturing, and aligning with our customers’ operating imperatives.”
“Our exemplary safety record is based on our focused attention to the smallest of details, every day, for every client,” said LoCI’s Service and Sales Regional Manager, Greg Gideon. “Safety is paramount, and we all work hard to ensure everything we do is safety focused. We pride ourselves on a highly skilled and well-trained workforce that respects the associated hazards and knows what it takes to mitigate risk. It has truly become a part of our culture.”
