MB HAYNES recently celebrated a significant milestone in its commitment to safety.

In less than a year, the local electrical, heating, and cooling company achieved one million hours worked without a lost time injury — which is no small feat.

The N.C. Department of Labor’s Million Hour Safety Awards Program recognizes firms that accumulate one million employee hours with no injuries or illnesses involving days away from work. Achieving this requires collective dedication to safety measures and practices, especially since The Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries from the Bureau of Labor Statistics states that construction and mining occupations accounted for the second highest number of occupational deaths out of all fatal work injuries in 2021.

Throughout the past million hours, MB HAYNES consistently:

  • Emphasized safety protocols
  • Provided comprehensive safety training programs
  • Ensured the implementation of strict safety measures across all its operations
