By: TWI-PR “A total of 45 plant facilities participated in MBMA's Quarterly OSHA Injury Statistics Program,” states Charles Praeger, Assistant General Manager of MBMA. “Awards were presented based on our analysis of the submitted data.” MBMA and its members are committed to the safety of everyone who works in the metal building systems industry. The organization has had a long standing Safety Awards Program, which was revamped in 2010 so that it is patterned after OSHA safety rules. “For the past two years the number of award winners is up substantially,” From the 45 manufacturing facilities nationwide that submitted data, a total of 54 awards were presented. Of that total, some awards were given to multiple locations within the same company. MBMA patterned the awards program to conform to OSHA safety standards. MBMA’s criteria, though, stipulates that winning firms must have work-related accident and illness rates that are significantly below OSHA-reported averages for the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 332311, which is Prefabricated Metal Building and Component Manufacturing. For the Superior Overall Safety Record under the rules of the Award Program, the goal is to surpass 50% and greater than the national average for SIC Code 3448. The national average for recordable cases trended up to a 5.7 incident rate for “Prefabricated Metal Buildings and Component Manufacturing.” Achievement of a 20% Reduction in OSHA Work Case Occurrences plus Reduction in Restricted Duty Cases in 2012 over 2011; Achievement of a 20% Reduction in Other Recordable Cases in 2012 over 2011; and No Recordable Cases in 2012.
