VELOCITY EXPRESS RECEIVES LABOR DEPARTMENT'S SAFETY AWARD
ATLANTA -- State Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond said today that Velocity Express of Albany has earned the Georgia Department of Labor's Award of Excellence in recognition of exceptional workplace safety. The Velocity Express in Macon also won the award.
Jimmy Mize of Atlanta, safety programs coordinator for the labor department's Safety Engineering Division, presented the award on behalf of Commissioner Thurmond.
The award is made to an employer who has experienced 250 or more continuous work days within a calendar year with no lost-time injuries, including restricted work activity, lost-time illnesses or fatalities. A workday is considered to be an eight-hour period.
The labor department's safety awards program is designed to recognize and promote safe workplaces throughout the state. In addition to the awards program, the labor department sponsors the annual Georgia Safety, Health, and Environmental Conference, which is set for Oct. 3-4 at the Renaissance Waverly Hotel in Atlanta. The theme of this year's conference is "Don't Gamble With Safety."
