WHY:              CnD is the first company to receive this prestigious safety award in 2001.  In 2000, only three Ohio companies received the SHARP award. The award recognizes the company’s effort to work with their employees and develop and implement effective injury and illness prevention programs.

NOTES:  

The SHARP award program promotes effective safety and health program management and provides model programs for other small, high hazard employers to follow. SHARP recognizes employers who practice exemplary safety and health programs at their work sites which result in the immediate and long term prevention of job related injuries and illnesses.

 

The SHARP award is good for one year and provides an exemption from federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) general schedule inspections during that period.  OSHA recognizes that employers like CnD Machine have put procedures in place that ensure hazards are identified and corrected in a proactive fashion.

 

CnD Machine is a metal fabrication, welding and machining company with 50 employees. To receive the SHARP award, CnD Machine worked closely with Commerce’s On-Site Consultation Program to correct all safety and health hazards identified within their facility.  The company improved all of its written safety and health programs and incorporated enhanced worker safety into their everyday operations.  By working with the On-Site Consultation Program and by undertaking the series of safety and health upgrades, CnD Machine showed its concern for its employees and the importance of their safety to CnD’s management and ownership.
