Acucote received safety awards from its workers’ compensation insurance carrier and the North Carolina Department of Labor.
Acucote recently announced that it has been awarded two honors for its safety program. The North Carolina Department of Labor (NCDOL) presented the company with a Gold Award at its annual awards ceremony. To qualify for any of NCDOL’s annual safety awards, a firm reportedly must have zero fatalities during the calendar year and have maintained a safety incidence rate of at least 50% below the average for its industry group. The Gold Award is reportedly based on days away from work, restricted activity, or job transfers as a result of injuries. This is the first time that Acucote has received this highest accolade from NCDOL; it recognizes the company’s reported industry-leading incidence rate of .71.
In addition, A WorkSafe Award was presented to Acucote by its workers’ compensation insurance carrier, HUB International SE and Accident Fund Insurance Co. This award reportedly acknowledges “Continuous Safety Improvement from 2015-2019.”
