“We are pleased to receive this award,” said Terry Pattarozzi, health and safety manager at ODIN, LTD. “A commitment to safety extends from the owners of the company and is followed through to the managers and field supervisors.”

MeadWestvaco’s criterion for achieving safety excellence involves operating and working safely, with a constant focus on accident prevention. Above all, the contractor should exhibit a belief that taking steps to safeguard the work environment can prevent all injuries and occupational illnesses. Throughout the MeadWestvaco Asset Recovery Project, ODIN LTD. employees have dedicated themselves to working safely and out preformed 25 contractors to receive the award. Congratulations to the entire team for a job well done and practicing superior asset recovery skills.

“At ODIN, we believe that all injuries and occupational illnesses can be prevented,” says Pattarozzi. “All employees at all levels are responsible for their own safety and the safety of those who work with them and around them. Every person on an ODIN project has the duty and authority to stop working if they believe a safety hazard exists.”

ODIN LTD, practices a behavioral-based safety program, using behavioral science to prevent and solve safety issues. All field employees are required to submit multiple weekly observations and suggestions to management. ODIN’s safety program requires a buy-in from all employees. This not only prevents safety, but empowers each member of the ODIN team to keep their working environment safe. Each submission is taken very seriously and management makes changes to prevent an accident before one occurs. Odin is extremely proud that it has not had a fatality or lawsuit in its 40 years of operation. In addition to being recognized by MeadWestvaco, both Texas Mutual Insurance and the Texas Department of Insurance have applauded ODIN for its exemplary performance and dedication.
