John Deere Welland Works Earns Health and Safety Award
July 6, 2007 – John Deere Welland (Ontario) Works has earned a Level III Health & Safety Achievement Award from the Industrial Accident Prevention Association (IAPA), a leading Canadian workplace health and safety organization.
To qualify for the top-level award, companies must show that they maintain comprehensive workplace health and safety programs that address management and employee safety practices, legislative compliance, and lost-time injury reporting requirements. Welland Works has surpassed 5.3 million employee work hours over the past three years without a lost-time injury.
IAPA conducted an on-site verification of the facility May 24.
John Deere Welland Works is the 10th company to receive the award since the program began in 2002. The award reflects a commitment and pro-active approach to improving workplace health and safety, Maureen Shaw, IAPA President and CEO, said in an announcement issued by the association.
