    Award: America’s Safest Companies of 2009 (Wahoo!)

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Every week Google sends me updates of the latest OSHA fines and workplace safety stories so it was awesome to read this week about amazing companies who are making their company the “safest.”

    The America’s Safest Companies Award was founded in 2002. It honors companies that achieve specific criterias in safety. This year the criteria got even harder, where the selection team picked companies that demonstrated “Visionary thinking… were practically perfect…and over the top” in safety.

    EHS Today, sponsors of this award, wrote that these companies, “provide a safe working environment for tens of thousands of employees, protect the environment and act as advocates for health and safety.”
    The criteria:

    • Support from management and employee involvement.
    • Innovative solutions to safety challenges.
    • Injury and illness rates lower than average for their industries.
    • Comprehensive training programs.
    • Evidence that prevention of incidents is the cornerstone of the safety process.
    • Good communication about the value of safety.
    • Way to substantiate the benefits of the safety process.

    This years winners:

    AMEC Earth & Environmental Inc.,The Concrete Pipe Div. of CEMEX, Medtronic Inc., Morin Actuator, RQ Construction Inc., Trendmaker Homes, Trihydro Corp., and Wood Group Power Plant Services.
