Safe, Secure, Vital
"We build employee and public safety into every job. An active plant safety committee aggressively addresses safety concerns. In addition, we have a team of state-licensed emergency medical technicians that respond to any plant or employee medical emergency."
"Our commitment to safety parallels our dedication to performance. And we take great pride in setting a CMS Energy record in 2004 for the longest continuous operation of any electric generating unit at 478 days."
"We also work very hard to be good neighbors, leading and participating in local festivals and organizations and championing the way for a better community."

Safety First
Safety is our top priority, for our employees and our customers. That's why we've made safety an integral part of our vision for all of our generating plants throughout Michigan.
Our employees work safely in the plant to help keep themselves and our communities safe. Here are some key ways we put safety first in everything we do:
Employees attend regular safety meetings, follow established safety policies and procedures and are provided with and required to wear hard hats, safety glasses, earplugs and other personal protective equipment
Employees receive regular training on important health, safety and environmental issues that include working in confined spaces and first aid-CPR
Employees bring their award-winning safety knowledge and background into numerous volunteer activities in the communities we serve. They volunteer as firefighters, paramedics, auxiliary police, educators, Red Cross helpers, coaches, scouting leaders and more.
