WHY:              Plastic Suppliers is one of only two companies in the state of Ohio to

receive this prestigious safety award in 2000.  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 Plastic Suppliers have put procedures in place that ensure hazards are identified and corrected in a proactive fashion.

 

To receive the award, Plastic Suppliers had comprehensive safety and health surveys of their facility completed.  These surveys involved reviewing their safety and health programs, program management, physical analysis of their facility and industrial hygiene monitoring to determine any and all hazards to their employees.

Plastic Suppliers quickly corrected all hazards identified by the safety and health

consultant and industrial hygienist and implemented all relevant recommendations.
