White worked over 1.5 million hours in 2012, and the company's Total 
Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) came in at 1.66 and its Experience 
Modification Rate (EMR) came in at 0.79, well below the industry averages of 
3.5 and 1.0, respectively.

The companies of IEA have institutionalized a culture of safety, enabling them 
to operate in the most stringent and challenging work environments. "The 
supply chain logistics of the industry were heavily stretched with the 
expiration of the production tax credit (PTC) on December 31, 2012," said 
Buddy White, President. "Significant high wind events required crews to work 
on a compressed schedule to meet the tight deadline. White's construction 
teams were able to safely complete one hundred percent of our work commitments 
before the PTC expiration."
