Houston, TX - June 19, 2023 - Universal Plant Services (UPS) announced their groundbreaking new initiative, aimed at prioritizing health and safety in the workplace. The innovative Safety² program is designed to ensure that all potential hazards are thoroughly eliminated or controlled before any work begins. This sets a high standard for safety excellence within the industry.

"UPS has always been committed to protecting our workforce and the environment. With our new proprietary Safety program, we're taking this commitment one step further. By giving our team members a simple yet effective process to eliminate hazards, we can maximize productivity while mitigating risk," said Laurie Schults, Marketing Manager at UPS.

The Safety program lies at the heart of UPS's mission to promote a healthy and safe working environment. The process requires each UPS employee to ask themselves two critical questions before starting any task: "How can I be injured?" and "What am I going to do about it?" Team members take prompt action to address and mitigate any hazards identified before starting work.

To aid supervisors in assessing their job sites for potential safety risks, UPS has developed a custom app called UPS1 Safety. This technological tool enables supervisors to quickly conduct job site audits and hazard observations as part of the company's innovative Behavioral Based Safety system. By leveraging technology alongside its proactive approach toward safety management, UPS takes control of the following:

-       Planning

-       Staffing

-       Operational efficiency

-       Identifying issues before they become full-blown problems.

Universal Plant has an impressive track record spanning several years of low total recordable incident rates (TRIR). It's clear that the company's commitment to safety excellence has paid off. UPS works through executive leadership or skilled craftspeople who diagnose customer challenges on-site with expert precision. Safeguarding employees' well-being remains central for everyone within the organization.

A testimony of their efforts lies in the company's outstanding performance over the past four years:

-       In 2021, UPS recorded an incredibly low TRIR of just 0.12, with 3,300 employees and 6.7 million hours worked.

-       In 2020, they achieved a great TRIR of 0.14 with more than 5.9 million hours worked by their growing team of 3,000 employees.

-       2019 featured nearly 7.5 million hours clocked across the board for their workforce of about 3,600 workers. UPS managed to maintain a TRIR of only .24.

-       Throughout all their operations during 2018, they managed to maintain an incident rate of under .21.

The introduction of the Safety program exemplifies UPS's dedication to integrating safety as an integral aspect of its corporate identity.

"We're proud to showcase our Safety² program as evidence that we'll stop at nothing to offer our customers service grounded in safety and precision. All geared towards ensuring optimal results no matter how large or small the task," added Schults.

Continuing its intense focus on health and safety management, UPS is not only fostering an environment where employees thrive. It also paves the way towards greater efficiency and cost-effective solutions that boost overall ROI for clients. It is the ideal solution for those seeking services grounded in both ingenuity and attention toward safeguarding individual well-being.
