DALLAS--(Business Wire)--
Luminant employees have kept safety a top priority in 2009, setting 23
significant new safety records in just six months. 

"It`s one thing to talk about safety, it`s another to live and work by these
principles each and every day. The impressive number of safety milestones our
employees have reached this year is evidence they`re doing just that," said Mike
Blevins, Luminant chief operating officer. "By covering safety in daily
pre-shift meetings and engaging our workforce through a variety of on-site
safety programs, employees are taking ownership of their own safe work practices
and it`s making a difference." 

Among the safety milestones reached in first half of 2009:

* North Lake, Tradinghouse and Trinidad Power Plants each reached four years
without an OSHA-recordable injury; Graham Power Plant achieved three years; and
Oak Grove Power Plant reached two years
* Stryker Creek Power Plant achieved 34 years without a lost-time injury;
Trinidad Power Plant reached 29 years; Three Oaks Mine, Permian Basin and Lake
Creek Power Plants 10 years each; and Big Brown Power Plant nine years, among
others 
* Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant, Monticello and Martin Lake Mines reached
two million safe work hours without a lost-time injury; Beckville Mine and
Martin Lake Power Plant each achieved one million safe work hours
* The plant maintenance support fleet logged more than one million miles of safe
driving without a preventable accident
