Alcoa's Lafayette Operations Receives Safety Achievement Award from National Safety Council
Third Consecutive Year Lafayette Recognized for Safety Accomplishments
LAFAYETTE, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alcoa (NYSE:AA) announced today that its Lafayette, Indiana, facility
was awarded a 2006 Occupational Excellence Achievement Award for Safety
Excellence from the U.S. National Safety Council. It is the third year
in a row the Alcoa plant has been recognized for its safety
accomplishments. The NSC award recognizes U.S. employers that have
injury and illness rates involving days missed from work equal to or
less than 50% of the rate compared to similar industries and have no
fatalities during a calendar year.
“We hold the safety and health of our
employees as a core value of our organization and each of our 775
employees works every day at achieving employee safety. It is gratifying
to see our progress being recognized by the National Safety Council,”
said Diana Perreiah, Lafayette Operations Manager.
Perreiah cited some of the safety practices routinely conducted at the
plant. “Conducting weekly safety walks in the
mill, targeting departmental safety activities, performing daily and
weekly safety reviews, and increasing our awareness and reporting of
injury-free events are helping us achieve continuous improvement in our
safety systems,” Perreiah explained.
