Burke-Divide Electric Cooperative earned North Dakota Association of Rural Electric Cooperatives’ Safety Excellence Award, which recognizes outstanding performance in safety. To achieve this award, a cooperative must not have had a lost-time accident for five consecutive years.
“Many years ago, the cooperative set a safety goal, because we want our people to go home safely every day. That is our No. 1 commitment to our employees,” says Jerry King, general manager. “This achievement reflects the team’s commitment to working safely every day.”
