LEADERSHIP MATTERS
Fatalities at AES Sul and OPGC II

There's nothing more important to us than safety and creating a work environment from which our people and our contractors can go home safely to their families and loved ones at the end of each work day. It is with great sadness that we share that didn't happen for an AES Sul electrician on Thursday, December 24 and a construction contractor at the OPGC II construction site on January 6. Today, we wanted to share what happened and the actions we're taking to prevent future incidents.
