The plant was recently recognized with an industry Safety Award from the Metal Building Manufacturers Association (MBMA). Each year MBMA recognizes Building Systems manufacturers and Associate members that show exceptional commitment to assuring workplace safety.
Honors also went to the company’s Thoamsville, Georgia plant.
Safety awards for 2018 performance were presented at the MBMA Spring Meeting held May 1-3, 2019 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
“We are committed to promoting workplace safety and these awards recognize those facilities that set an example for all of us,” says Jennifer Oblock, account executive for MBMA. “For our Building Systems members in 2018, 42 plant facilities participated in MBMA’s Quarterly OSHA Injury Statistics Program, logging nearly 12 million hours on the job. Our Associate members’ awards program extends the focus on safety across the industry to our suppliers’ manufacturing facilities as well.”
From the 42 manufacturing facilities nationwide that submitted data, seven awards were presented. MBMA’s Building Systems Award program has two tiers: the Superior Safety Award, which is for companies that achieved zero recordable incidents in the calendar year, and the Safety Performance Award, which is for plants with an incident rate of 50% or less than the OSHAreported average for the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 332311 (prefabricated metal building and component manufacturing). Recipients of the Safety Performance Award achieved an incident rate of 1.55 or lower.
