Safety and Other Awards
On September 17th, Empire Screen Printing reached and surpassed its safety goal of three years without a lost-time accident. Wednesday, September 22nd, Empire and its employees were honored with a safety award from Employers Mutual Casualty Co. The award was presented by EMC's spokespeople Barbara Hamill and Dave Young. Barbara commented, "It was impressive when I was here last year at this time presenting the award for two years without a lost time accident. It is nothing short of remarkable that I am here to present an award for three years without a lost-time accident! Super job!" Dave Young also expressed his views, "Empire has created a safety culture that many companies have yet to duplicate, especially in the printing industry. It is remarkable! Keep it up."
As our banner portrayed, "Safety is No Accident." This is due to the efforts of our safety committee, their fellow employees, and management. All employees can take the initiative and lead by example when it comes to safe job practices. Proper employee and supervisor training is key to maintaining the safety culture at Empire. Our on-site certified electricians, machinists, and maintenance staff are readily available to make the physical improvements needed to operate in a safe environment. Recently updated fire alarm systems, electrical improvements and safety signage demonstrate management's commitment to employee health and safety.
