Safety

Protecting Our People and Communities

Constellation fosters a safe, inclusive, and innovative workplace that strives to keep employees engaged in meaningful and important work. We provide our people with competitive compensation and benefits, a culture of entrepreneurship and opportunities for personal and professional growth. We pride ourselves on bringing employees together in a collaborative environment that inspires new ideas and embraces diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

 

At Constellation, we integrate safety and health into every level of our company, beginning with each individual employee. Every day, our employees perform a wide range of critical work activities which are inherently dangerous work. Through the strength of our safety programs and the commitment of our employees and leadership, Constellation achieves top-tier safety performance. We reinforce safe work practices and identify potential risks before an incident occurs through peer-to-peer and manager safety observations. By recording safety observations, documenting near misses and tracking incident trends, we systematically identify issues and pinpoint improvement opportunities. 

Engaging our employees on safety is a critical component of creating our safety culture. One way we motivate employee involvement in safety innovations is through Safety Achievement Awards. The awards are peer-nominated and awarded to employees who go beyond their normal job duties to make work safer and, in some cases, to improve public safety as well. On behalf of each winner, Constellation donates to an environmental or safety-related nonprofit selected by the team members. Donations are also made on behalf of the Honorable Mention teams for environment and safety.

At Constellation, we often test innovative methods for improving safety performance. We leverage technology to reduce employee risk exposure while improving service. Some areas where we have sought to improve our safety performance through technology include:

  • Drone aircrafts for wind turbine inspections can limit the risk to employees while improving inspection quality and speed. 

  • Our power plants completed a pilot using thermal imaging from FLIR Systems. The FLIR ONE Pro assists in finding invisible problems. Applications include inspecting electrical panels; troubleshooting mechanical systems; looking for heating, ventilating, and air conditioning problems or finding water damage. These products are also utilized for COVID-19 personnel temperature screening.

  • Our nuclear facilities continue to implement robotic submersibles to reduce the need for divers.

As the largest nuclear power plant operator in the United States, nuclear safety is a fundamental element of our license to operate. We diligently manage nuclear wastes - both low-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel - safely, securely and responsibly. We must always remain in compliance with the stringent requirements of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
