Achieving zero injuries is job number one for every person in D&Z, beginning at the executive level and continuing throughout the field and offices. Our coal and gas power operations teams are supported by an outstanding group of safety professionals, coaching, case management, support, and subject-matter experts who verify compliance with our program and provide field observation.
