We are proud to be honored for excellence in safety
We are honored to be chosen as this year’s recipient of the Richard J. Haines Memorial Award for Safety Excellence from the Maine State Group Trust. The Maine State Group Trust was created by a group of employers to provide workers’ compensation protection. Dick Haines was instrumental to the creation and success of the Group Trust, and this award was created to memorialize his efforts.
According to the Maine State Group Trust, the criteria used to select a winner for this award include:
- Commitment – both to employee safety and the well-being of the Group.
- Persistence – always striving for excellence in loss prevention, safety, claims management and return to work.
- Participation – involvement of all levels of a company in employee safety and active participation in Group activities.
- Performance – generally solid and overall profitable contribution to the Trust.
- Consistency – long-term effort without complacency.
We also received an additional award from the Maine State Group Trust for having zero lost time claims during the 2024 fund year.
Under the leadership of Jess Smith, our Director of Health & Safety, we have created a strong safety culture that empowers every team member to speak up if something doesn’t feel safe. We invest in the gear, training and systems to help keep our people safe because we know quality work only happens when our team members feel safe and supported.
We continue to emphasize that safety is the responsibility of everyone, and we are proud to be recognized for our efforts.
