Contract Logistics Site Reaches Safety Milestone
GREENWICH, Conn. - March 8, 2018
- XPO Logistics (NYSE: XPO) today announced that employees at
its Union City, Ga., contract logistics site have achieved a safety
milestone of one million hours without a recordable incident. The
site began counting toward the milestone on November 15, 2016, and
passed the million-hour mark on November 18, 2017. As of the end of
February, the site now exceeds 1.25 million hours
accident-free.
Operations at the Union City facility are
dedicated to performing hardware order fulfillment for a global
brand. Employees committed to pursue another one million safe hours
at a special town hall meeting that commemorated the
milestone.
Troy Cooper, chief operating officer of XPO
Logistics, said, "When a busy, 560,000-square-foot facility exceeds
one million safe work hours, it's truly remarkable. The Union City
team's commitment to a safe work environment is yielding
outstanding results."
In keeping with XPO's safety practices, employees
at its logistics sites meet daily to identify potential issues and
continuously improve performance. Employees also sign an I-Pledge,
which encourages individual accountability for safe behavior -- a
practice that initiated at Union City and now helps maintain safe
operations at XPO sites.
XPO is a global leader in supply
chain services and the second largest contract logistics provider
with more than 775 logistics facilities worldwide. The company has
been recognized as one of the World's Most Admired Companies by
Fortune magazine for 2018. In 2017, the
company was named one of America's Best Employers by Forbes magazine.
