RALEIGH, SGRToday.com - North Carolina businesses seeking to be recognized for their outstanding workplace safety records have until Wednesday, Feb. 15 to complete the Department of Labor's application. Those selected for an award can look forward to local recognition at banquets to be held in their communities, co-sponsored by the Department of Labor and local civic and business groups.
To qualify for a safety award, the Labor Department requires a business to have a record of no fatalities at the site, and for the illness and injury rate to be at least 50 percent below the industry's average rate.
“A safety award shows employees and the community that you are committed to a safe work environment,” state Labor Commissioner Cherie Berry said in a news release. “A good safety record is something to be proud of, and businesses deserve to be recognized for their efforts.”
