It's always nice to know when you go to work that you're going into a place that prides itself on health and safety.
Merrill Tool & Machine's employees can confidently head into their shifts knowing exactly that, especially now that the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration--or MIOSHA--recently awarded the company with the Consultation Education and Training Bronze Award for outstanding safety and health.
"We are honored to present this award to Merrill Tool & Machine for providing their workers with a safe and healthy work environment," says MIOSHA director Doug Kalinowski. "This award recognizes their outstanding efforts to protect their workers, while still meeting the challenge of being economically competitive in today's global marketplace."
The MIOSHA Consultation Education and Training Division recognizes the safety and health achievements of Michigan employers and employees through CET Awards, which are based on excellent safety and health performance. The CET Bronze Award recognizes leadership and commitment to workplace safety and health resulting in significant improvement of their MIOSHA record.
The company has completed the following criteria to receive the Bronze Award: reduced their injury/illness incident rate by more than 50 percent within the last three years; developed and implemented a safety and health management system; established a safety and health committee, with both employee and management participation; and developed an employee training system.
