Travis Keeney
31
Director of Safety & Training
Tri-City Electric Co.
Davenport, IA

“The biggest initiative Travis helped direct was to lower the company’s EMR from 0.93 to a much lower number. It involved many different areas to improve upon in order to ultimately reduce the number of injuries. Travis identified, analyzed and targeted the key indicators and root causes of the injuries that were occurring. From there, he began to implement solutions such as targeted training, revising and developing new task procedures, improving PPE, and several other ideas. He believed in teaching other managers not to just enforce safety but help be coaches to those in the field as well. Through continuous tweaking and steady improvement over the past few years, and through the initiative, he has now successfully helped drive the company EMR down to 0.58.”
