TYSON FOODS RECEIVES LABOR DEPARTMENT'S TOP SAFETY AWARD
ATLANTA -- State Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond said today that Tyson Foods, Inc. of Cumming, has been presented a special award by the Georgia Department of Labor for workplace safety.
Jimmy Mize of Atlanta, safety programs coordinator for the labor department's Safety Engineering Division, presented the agency's Award of Excellence on behalf of Commissioner Thurmond to Patrick Johnston, plant manager, in ceremonies at the Cumming Fair Grounds Saturday.
The award was given in recognition of "exceptional workplace safety," after reaching a plateau of one million hours worked from Sept. 25, 1999, to Feb. 15, 2000, with no lost time due to injuries or work-related accidents.
"The success of Tyson's management and employees in achieving this goal represents the best in cooperative efforts to protect Georgia's workforce and economy," said Mize.
The labor department's safety awards program is designed to recognize and promote safe workplaces throughout the state.
A part of the labor department's safety engineering program is the annual Georgia Safety, Health, and Environmental Conference, which is set for Oct. 3-4 at the Renaissance Waverley Hotel in Atlanta. This year's theme will be, "Don't Gamble With Safety."
