Peters Brings Industry Perspective to Construction Safety Advisory Committee

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Andy Peters, AECOM’s senior vice president and chief safety officer, has been appointed to the United States Department of Labor’s Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and Health. 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.

Peters has helped to greatly enhance the culture of safety at AECOM. He has established programs such as “Safety for Life” and “Culture of Caring,’’ 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’ leadership, AECOM exceeded its 2015 safety performance goal — coming in 7.5 percent below its targeted recordable incident rate. For more details on the company’s safety performance record, download its 2015 Safety Report.
