  At Eversource, our commitment to “Safety First and Always” is a principle and a mindset present in every job and every task, whether in the field, office or at home.  A priority at Eversource is continuous improvement and safety is at the forefront as we continue to build a strong safety culture, embrace new technologies, and learn with our industry and community partners to improve safety performance.  We provide safety training and perform field safety job observations of both internal and contractor crews with a focus on high-energy hazards.  We use metrics such as Days Away Restricted Time (DART) and High Energy Field Observations, among others, to monitor safety performance.  Our DART safety performance was 0.76 in 2024, measured by days away, restricted or transferred per 100 workers, using the DART-OSHA method of measurement.
