乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 Polyurethanes鈥� Auburn Hills Site Receives Fourth Consecutive 鈥淪tar鈥� Status Award from MIOSHA
Auburn Hills, Michigan 鈥� 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 Corporation (NYSE: HUN) announced the Michigan Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) awarded its Auburn Hills, Michigan site continued status as a 鈥淪tar鈥� participant in the Michigan Voluntary Protection Program (MVPP), keeping the status the site has maintained since 2004.
The 鈥淪tar鈥� review process begins with a pre-audit outlining the site鈥檚 current safety program. MIOSHA then sends representatives to the site over a three-day period to review the pre-audit, tour the facility and conduct extensive interviews with company employees.
鈥淭his recognition exemplifies the result of successful efforts by all associates, and government, in partnering for excellence in workplace safety and health,鈥� said 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站鈥檚 Auburn Hills Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) Manager Pete Panourgias.
Sherry Scott, MIOSHA Safety and Health Program Manager/MVPP Manager, said 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 is a great member of the MVPP program and the organization鈥檚 team is easy to work with. 鈥淢IOSHA has highlighted a couple of 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站鈥檚 best practices in promotional Safety and Health Management System discussions around the state,鈥� said Scott. 鈥溊痔焯胒un88(中国区)官方网站 Polyurethanes is an excellent workplace safety and health leader.鈥�
The 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 facility has successfully undergone three additional recertification processes over the past 11 years. The 鈥淪tar鈥� status offered under the program lasts for three years until the site needs to be recertified.
While the U.S. Department of Labor has its own safety protocol, many states have their own criteria which are often more stringent, including hazard recognition, recordable rates, associate involvement and training and management commitment.
Panourgias believes the Auburn Hills site has successfully maintained high safety standards due to 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站鈥檚 company-wide commitment to prioritizing the health and safety of its associates and contractors. 鈥淩eceiving 鈥楽tar鈥� status is a collaborative effort and involves unified support for our EHS program,鈥� added Panourgias.
Because the Auburn Hills site has maintained 鈥淪tar鈥� status for 11 years, it is a well-known exemplar of high safety standards amongst the Michigan business community. The site currently mentors other companies鈥� EHS teams pursuing MVPP recognition, as well as those companies who simply want to improve their safety and health management system.
