\"peters_andy_final\"LOS ANGELES (Oct. 6, 2016) \u2014 AECOM, a premier, fully integrated global infrastructure firm, announced today that Andy Peters, AECOM\u2019s senior vice president and chief safety officer, has been appointed to the United States Department of Labor\u2019s Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and Health<\/a> (ACCSH). Peters will join a 15-member body that advises Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez on ways to improve workplace safety and health in the construction industry as well as on related policy matters.<\/p>\n

\u201cSafety is a critical component to AECOM\u2019s overall success,\u201d said Michael S. Burke, Chairman and CEO of AECOM. \u201cAndy Peter\u2019s commitment to safety has helped establish a culture of safety that puts us on the path to having best-in-class performance in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am greatly honored to accept this appointment, and with it the opportunity to serve ACCSH,\u201d said Peters. \u201cSupporting employees by empowering them with the knowledge, resources and authority to become safety leaders themselves is critical to AECOM\u2019s safety work, and a perspective I think offers value to our industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peters has helped to greatly enhance the culture of safety at AECOM. He has established programs such as \u201cSafety for Life\u201d and \u201cCulture of Caring\u2019\u2019 which include procedures aimed at helping AECOM meet its goal of achieving zero employee injuries, zero property damage and zero threats to the environment. Under Peters\u2019 leadership, AECOM exceeded its 2015 safety performance goal \u2014 coming in 7.5 percent below its targeted recordable incident rate.
