The International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) is accepting applications for the 12th annual Dairy Industry Safety Recognition Awards—a program honoring facilities for outstanding safety performance.
“When the IDFA safety award program was created a dozen years ago, it captured only lagging indicators, meaning injury rates,” says David Crowley, senior environmental health and safety director for HP Hood LLC, whose facilities have earned a number of safety awards. “By including criteria for leading indicators in recent years, IDFA has helped to emphasize the importance of monitoring the proactive safety efforts in the dairy world and to promote positive things that help prevent injuries from occurring in the workplace.”
