Records of contractors, subcontractors, and AEC offices
which cover the calendar year will be analyzed by AEC,
Washington, after the close of the calendar year to
determine those records which qualify for the Award of
Honor, Award of Merit, or General. Manager's Commendation. If a record:covers two or more calendar years,
however, the contractor, subcontractor, or AEC office
must apply for recognition in the manner outlined imme-~
- diately above.

Records which qualify for the Manager's Letter at the
end of one or more calendar years will be determined by
the Operations Office to which monthly injury summary’
reports are submitted, Managers of these AEC offices
will issue this award,
General. Injury rates in the atomic energy program have been
markedly better than comparable industry rates released by
either the National Safety Council or the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, U. S. Department of Labor. It is more practical,
therefore, that contractors, subcontractors, and AEC offices
qualify for recognition by attaining records which are better
than the average rates for the atomic energy group in which
their work is allocated.
These groups are known as Produc-
tion, Research, Services, Lump-Sum Construction, Cost-Plus
Construction, Architect-Engineering, and Government,
a.
For recognition, records of man-hours without disabling
injury shall begin to accrue on andafter.January 1, 1953.
Similarly, recognition for improved experience will be
given for no calendar year earlier than 1953.
Applicable
frequency and severity rates of atomic energy groups for
purposes of evaluation will be released initially as soon
as practicable after the close of 1952.
-b.
Application for recognition of a record without disabling
injury may be made at any time after the record is terminated by a disabling injury, but not earlier than
January 31, 1953.

Only the highest award earned during any one calendar year
will be made to any organization reporting individually.
