Itasca, IL – The
National Safety Council awarded 8 companies/individuals with Safety Leadership
Awards and 1 company with the Superior Safety Performance Award in January.
Safety Leadership recipients have achieved five consecutive years and Superior
Safety Performance recipient has achieved 10 consecutive years without an
occupational injury or illness resulting in lost employee work days or
death.
In
2010, work injuries cost the nation nearly $177 billion. There were an
estimated 3,783 unintentional work deaths. Companies that motivate and inspire
safe behavior are able to reduce workplace injuries and deaths and improve
their bottom lines. When employees are encouraged and recognized for safe
behavior, companies can build strong corporate safety cultures.
