An exciting safety milestone has recently been achieved by APi Construction based in St. Paul, Minnesota. At the end of the first quarter in 2004, APi Construction surpassed 1,000,000 total hours worked without a Lost Time Incident.

The path to this achievement spanned a two-year time frame starting in 2002. This record was achieved while performing insulation contractor services in the industrial sector, of which a majority of the work was performed for power plant and paper mill clients throughout the country.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics the rate of non fatal occupational injury and incident average is 4.3 for special trade contractors. This means that there are on average 4.3 loss work day cases per 200,000 man hours worked. APi Construction worked over five times that amount of man hours without having any loss work day cases!

This kind of safety performance does not mysteriously happen on its own; it takes teamwork, dedication, and a commitment by all disciplines to realize the result above-mentioned. APi Group, Inc. has established a zero Lost Time Incident Goal for all APi Member Companies and we are extremely proud of APi Construction for achieving this most significant milestone and the effort it took to make this goal a reality. We congratulate you on a job well done!
