Union Pacific's employees achieved a 0.92 reportable injury rate through the third quarter, improving 12 percent over the same period in 2014.

 

“While we continue to make significant improvement, we won’t be satisfied until we reach our goal of zero incidents, ensuring every employee goes home safely at the end of each day,” said Cameron Scott, executive vice president-operations.

UP says its employees continue to place an emphasis on demonstrating Courage to Care — a personal pledge to safety. Introduced in 2012, it represents a culture of safety and personal accountability and strengthens the degree to which each and every employee prioritizes safety as an issue.

UP has had a successful year in the realm of employee safety, marking improvements in the first and second quarters.
