Environmental, Health, and Safety Services

ACP and the clean energy industry place a high priority on protecting the safety and health of the clean energy workforce. ACP supports the clean energy industry with the environmental, health, and safety resources, data, and tools needed to ensure a safe working environment.

ACP engages regularly with federal agencies, including the Center for Disease Control’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE). ACP works closely with OSHA, BSEE, and NIOSH to improve worker health and safety, and to better inform the clean energy industry about these agencies and the agencies about the clean energy industry.

Key programs include:

• Safety Awareness Campaigns: October is ACP Safety Month, focusing on key areas to help keep employees healthy and safe.
• Safety Data Collection: Every year, ACP collects data on the safety and health performance of the industry to help companies benchmark themselves against their peers, improve performance, and identify areas of focus for training and other activities.
• Safety and Health Excellence Award Program: The ACP Safety and Health Excellence Award program recognizes the excellence of ACP member companies’ safety and health performance and programs used to achieve performance, as well as companies’ EHS best practices of success. This award is presented at the annual ACP O&M and Safety Conference.
