SCE continues to negotiate agreements with additional employee groups who subsequently certified IBEW as their bargaining representative.

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. Edison International also continues to enhance its workforce safety culture. For instance, SCE uses safety culture assessments for both employee and contractors to measure progress toward improving safety culture. Additionally, all full-time employees are provided with regular safety-related training, particularly for those who work in proximity to high-voltage electrical equipment and other high-risk activities. 

SCE has implemented a people and systems safety plan for high hazard organizations. This plan is driven by SCE’s Safety Management System (“SMS”) and safety culture improvement efforts. Foundational to the SMS is the safety risk management pillar that identifies and prioritizes risks and mitigations based on several factors, including worker and leader input. 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
