“Our excellent safety record is a tribute to our entire workforce and their attention to and attitude towards having a safe workplace. It takes an entire team to accomplish these results, and we’re pleased that we have that excellent team. It’s great to be recognized by our insurance carrier,” said Todd Smith, Utility’s Clearfield plant manager.
“This is the third Silver Award for our Clearfield plant, and our ninth Liberty Safety Award since 2001. Without the continued dedication of our employees and management team, we would not be able to achieve our safety goals year after year—and most importantly, we are creating an environment where we can keep ourselves and our fellow employees safe,” said Dennis Wilson, Utility’s Clearfield Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) manager.
“The owners and management of Utility appreciate everyone’s sustained efforts towards world-class safety at the Clearfield plant,” said Bob Griffis, corporate Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) manager for Utility Trailer Manufacturing Co.
