PIC Receives Safety Award for Excellence

ATLANTA (February 16, 2010) - PIC received the “Award of Excellence” sponsored by the Safety Division of the Georgia Department of Labor for exceptional workplace safety in 2009. 

Last year PIC completed over a million safe work hours worldwide with a 0.0 Lost Time Incident Rate (LTIR) and a 1.7 Recordable Incident Rate (RIR), well below the national industry RIR average of 4.2.

“I want to thank everyone at PIC for their dedication and commitment to our safety program,” said Beverley Rodgers, Director of Environmental Health & Safety at PIC.  “Safety is a team effort.  This could not have been possible without the cooperation of the entire organization.”

PIC is now eligible for additional awards sponsored by the Georgia Department of Labor which will be presented at the annual Georgia Safety, Health and Environmental Conference held September 7-10, 2010 in Savannah, Ga.
