Worldwide Dispensers is one of 256 employers who will be recognized at the Governor’s Safety Awards luncheon at the Minneapolis Convention Center on May 14.
“An effective safety program is an indicator of a successful organization,” said Carol Bufton, president of the Minnesota Safety Council. “Employers like Worldwide Dispensers understand that protecting employees is not only the right thing to do – it’s also good business.”
Since 1934, the annual Governor’s Safety Awards program has honored Minnesota employers with exceptional safety performance. Applicants are judged on several years of injury data as it compares with state and national statistics, and on their progress in implementing a comprehensive safety program. Winners are recognized at three levels:
-Meritorious Achievement
-Outstanding Achievement
-Award of Honor
Worldwide Dispensers received a Meritorious Achievement Award for above average performance in incident rates and implementation of at least half of specified safety program benchmarks. |
