Vermont Business Magazine The Vermont Department of Labor and Governor Phil Scott recognized several Vermont businesses Friday for their strong commitment to providing safe, healthy and effective workplace programs at the annual Vermont Safety and Health Council held in South Burlington, Vermont. The Governor’s Award for Outstanding Workplace Safety is the highest honor given by the State and recognizes an employer’s commitment to excellence in workplace safety and health policy. The awards recognize companies that stand out above all others in their commitment to safety, and to reducing and eliminating workplace injury and illness.
This year’s Governor’s Awards for Outstanding Workplace Safety were presented by Commissioner Lindsay Kurrle and Gov. Scott to the following Vermont businesses:
- Champlain Cable Corporation, Colchester
- Global Foundries, Essex Junction
- Washington Electric Cooperative, East Montpelier
- HP Cummings Construction Company
“As a business owner myself I know how important safe and healthy workplaces are to both the productivity and profitability of a business, and by investing in safety and education, these exemplary businesses are protecting and investing in their most valuable assets – their hardworking employees. I am honored to have recognized these businesses today for their commitment to keeping Vermonters safe,” Commissioner of Labor, Lindsay Kurrle.
The award for Outstanding Workplace Safety was created fifteen years ago, and is sponsored by Governor Phil Scott, the Vermont Department of Labor, and the Vermont Safety and Health Council.
