Abstract
For the past three decades or so, water utilities have had an accident rate about three times higher than gas and electric utilities. Bituminous coal, lignite mining, police departments, and a number of manufacturing industries have better safety records. One explanation is that safety is not an enforced management priority. AWWA's safety program is a way to help utility staffs achieve a good safety record. In this era of technological change, the health and welfare of the workforce remains a fundamental priority and a weighty management responsibility. The record shows that utilities must do better.
