Case Study: Vectren’s Safety Journey from Concept to Reality
It is the year 2014: The industry has lived through several significant safety incidents over the last couple of years. San Bruno, CA and Marshall, MI occurred just a few short weeks apart in 2010. The East Harlem, NY incident had just occurred. Vectren had its incident in New Albany, IN in 2011, and we know that situation could have created another national headline.
