Description
Safety awards are given to companies that have above-average worker safety and health programs.
“A safety award shows employees and the community that you are committed to a safe work environment,” state Labor Commissioner Cherie Berry said. “A good safety record is something to be proud of, and businesses deserve to be recognized for their efforts.”
Businesses that qualify for the award must meet two requirements. They must be free of fatalities at the site for which they are applying. The site's injury and illness rate also must be at least 50 percent below that of their industry's average rate.
For more information on the Safety Awards Program or to download an application, go to the NCDOL website, www.nclabor.com/osha/etta/safety_programs/safety_award.htm .The deadline for submissions is Feb. 17. Please contact the Safety Awards Coordinator, Eursula Joyner at (919) 807-2908 or Eursula.Joyner@labor.nc.gov, if you have any questions regarding the program.
