Four million hours of workplace safety at Perdue plant in Va.
On Wednesday, Oct. 17, the 470 employees at Perdue’s further-processing operation in Bridgewater, Va., achieved two safety milestones. That’s the day when they reached four million consecutive production hours worked without experiencing an OSHA recordable lost-time case and one year without an OSHA recordable incident.
“At Perdue, we have an industry leading safety program, but it takes the cooperation and commitment of all of our associates working in the Bridgewater operation to make it work,” said Kenny Lambert, Perdue director of operations. “These achievements in workplace safety are the result of everyone working together daily with a keen focus on proactively keeping each other safe. There’s nothing more important than the safety of our people.”
