Fluor: Houston Office Achieves 100 Million Safe Hours (USA)

Fluor Corporation announced today that its Houston, Texas, office recently achieved the significant safety milestone of 100 million safe work hours without a lost-time incident.

During the 17-year span, dating back to 1994, thousands of office employees have worked safely with no lost-time injuries. To commemorate the occasion, the company held a celebration for employees, retirees, on-site clients and subcontractors at its Sugar Land campus. Fluor maintains this safety milestone in accordance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s record-keeping guidelines.

“Our core values define who we are as a company. The health and safety of our employees are always our company’s highest priorities,” said David Seaton, Fluor’s chief executive officer. “Having worked part of my career in our Houston office during this era, I am proud to congratulate our employees and encourage them to continue to focus on safety each day.”

Fluor’s Houston office, with more than 2,200 employees, is the center of the company’s Energy & Chemicals Business Group, which performs projects for oil, gas and chemicals clients globally.

“Our employees apply the same health and safety mindset and follow the same rigorous guidelines globally whether they are working on challenging construction projects in remote locations or in an office environment like in Houston,” said Garry Flowers, Fluor’s senior vice president of Health, Safety & Environment. “This achievement is a testament to our daily commitment to safety for our employees and customers.”

“Achieving this momentous milestone required participation by each and every employee,” said Mike Smith, vice president & general manager of Fluor’s Houston office. “This milestone was the result of the teamwork and safe habits that every employee has put forth during the past 17 years.”
