Rockwell Collins was recently recognized by the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) for showing the most progress on worker safety between 2005 and 2006. As a result, our company was one of several that received a 2007 Worker Safety Improvement Award.

According to the AIA, our company showed the greatest reduction among our industry peers in incident rates, lost workday rates, and lost workday case rates calculated as a percentage of change from one year to the next. The demonstrated excellence of our Safety Management System contributed to dramatic safety improvement performance of our operations in the United States during this period.

AIA President and Chief Executive Officer John Douglass said the companies' records show the premium the aerospace and defense industry places on safety. Lockheed Martin also was recognized for general excellence.

"We recognize Rockwell Collins and Lockheed Martin as industry leaders when it comes to worker safety," said Douglass. "Their efforts have been highly successful and they can serve as role models for what is possible regarding safeguarding employees."
