Edison International focuses on various human capital measures and objectives in managing its business, including measures and objectives related to safety, diversity, equity and inclusion and workforce continuity.

Safety

Safety is the first of Edison International’s core values. Edison International is committed to fostering and maintaining a safe environment for its employees, contract workers, customers, and the public. Over the past several years, Edison International has intensified its efforts to improve workforce safety, including an increased focus on, and investment in, maturing a culture of safety ownership among its workforce that empowers employees and contract workers to own their safety, support their team members' safety and contribute to a safe work environment. 

Edison International takes efforts to eliminate fatalities and serious injuries, and reduce all injuries in our employee and contractor workforce.

The SMS strives to enable safety culture improvements for leader ownership and accountability. Examples of key risk mitigations targeted by the SMS include reducing the risk of electrical contact in underground structures and implementing new work methods to reduce fall risk.
