Rockline Industries recently announced that its Springdale, Arkansas Campus has received an award for outstanding safety, according to PR Newswire.
On Dec. 2, 2020, the Arkansas Department of Labor recognized the facility for achieving 13 million safe work hours without any lost time accidents (LTA). This accomplishment is almost unprecedented and has only been achieved one other time since the department began tracking workplace safety in 1976.
"Our associates are fully invested in our culture of safety and despite all the challenges 2020 threw at us, they remained laser focused on preventing safety incidents,” Mark Fougerousse, EHS manager of Rockline NWA, said. “This recognition from the State of Arkansas is a testament to their dedication and hard work."
The department promotes workplace safety by honoring companies whose employees have worked a significant number of hours without any lost days from work due to work-related injuries or illnesses.
"We have an incredible group of dedicated employees who believe that zero injuries are possible, both at work and at home. We pay attention to little details and truly look out for each other," Joel Slank, general manager of Rockline's Springdale facility, said. "Awards like these are terrific but the knowledge that our employees are acting safely and have a safe place to work is the best reward."
