The weather isn’t the only thing heating up this time of year – it’s award season for several of our facilities across the country, and we’re proud to say we’ve racked up some exciting wins!

In Caldwell, Ohio, our team attended the Mid-Ohio Valley Safety Council Awards Luncheon. During the luncheon, the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation Division of Safety and Hygiene recognized International Converter for an exceptional safety record for 2017. The team received several outstanding awards:

  • Group Award – lowest incident rate in each group;
  • 100% Award – zero injuries or illnesses resulting in a day or more away from work in the previous calendar year;
  • Special Award – at least 500,000 hours and at least six months without an injury resulting in a day or more away from work.

For our team, working 1,472,788 hours without a Loss Time Incident is a major accomplishment, and these awards are a testament to their hard work and safety precautions.
