The Fabricators and Manufacturers Association (FMA) presented Bühler Aeroglide with a safety award at the 10th Annual FMA Safety Conference in Chicago, Illinois.
“We are pleased to receive this award for the fifth consecutive year, but this is also something we’ve come to expect,“ said Michael Moses, Quality/Safety Manager. “We’ve developed a strong commitment to safety awareness during the past few years, with training and professional development that has increased workforce engagement, while recognizing an inclusiveness of all employees. This award reflects the goals of our in house safety program.“
Continuous improvement for health and environmental standards is moving Bühler toward the goal of zero loss of human and material resources.
The Safety Award of Merit is presented to companies posting an injury and illness incidence rate for calendar year 2017 that is better than the published Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) rate by 10 percent or greater, based on their North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code.
Bühler’s safety record reported for 2017 consisted of only three recordable minor injuries and one lost time accident. The company’s TRIR (Total Recordable Incident Rate) compared to the most recent National OSHA recordable rate for applicable industry contractors, was calculated at 1.9 versus an industry average of 3.2.
