2016 Rising Stars of Safety: Taking safety to a new level
The National Safety Council presents the Rising Stars of Safety, Class of 2016
Frank Downs
Age 35
Senior Safety Specialist
Louisville Gas & Electric/Kentucky Utilities
Coxs Creek, KY
“Frank has passionately ensured that all employees at the Cane Run Power Generating Station have relentlessly focused on personal and systematic safety through a significant period of recent transition within the organization. Frank selflessly ensures his availability to mentor employees through new, and potentially hazardous, tasks regardless of the time of day or the day of the week when that task needs to occur. Finally, Frank has mastered an uncanny ability to praise individuals for strong individual safety performance while never allowing the organization to believe we are ‘good enough.’ The combination of these three traits continues to facilitate a clear upward trajectory within our organization.”
