And now some good news. Most stories related to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) involves safety and health violations by employers at worksites. OSHA, however, is not all about citing violations; it has a program that identifies and acknowledges companies that consistently make health and safety for their employees one of their priorities.
OSHA recently recognized the employees and management of Papetti’s Hygrade Egg Products Inc., PA, for the company’s exemplary safety and health record. Papetti’s Klingerstown plant received the “star” site designation, the highest honor OSHA bestows on companies under its Voluntary Protection Programs.
Under OSHA’s stern encouragement most employers today require their workers to undergo OSHA 30 certification (for supervisors) and OSHA 10 hour training (for workers), courses that prepare them to identify and eliminate onsite safety and health hazards.
“This company’s dedication to ensuring a safe workplace for its employees makes it most deserving of this honor,” enthused Mark Stelmack, OSHA area director, who was at the recognition ceremony to present the company with a plaque and a flag.
OSHA’s Voluntary Protection Programs recognize private and federal work sites that are able to maintain effective safety and health management systems and have managed to keep injury and illness rates below national Bureau of Labor Statistics averages.
OSHACampus.com, a leading provider of online OSHA training, offers 10 Hour OSHA Training and 30 Hour OSHA Training for workers, supervisors, and contractors.
