CLP Resources, Inc. has named First Solar as its 2011 Safety Partner of the Year in honor of its commitment to safety, extraordinary safety record and safety partnership efforts. CLP recognized eighteen customers across the country as its 2011 Safety Partners from among the thousands it worked with last year and First Solar ranked #1 nationally, based on hours worked, hours between incidents, overall safety performance of CLP's employees on the customer's jobsite, and safety culture.

"First Solar joins us in our commitment to safe workplaces and has consistently proven that safety is one of their highest priorities. We're proud to do business with a company so dedicated to the safety of all its employees."
