This prestigious award recognizes Montana’s employers and individuals in the public and private sectors that are committed to safety in the workplace. The chosen employer must have a good safety record, with an above-average experience modification factor (E-Mod) or Incident Rate for the last 3 years. This indicates effective safety programs, a strong safety culture, and reduced workplace injuries.
The Governor’s Safety Achievement Award looks for companies that have a robust Safety Management System evidenced by a well-documented written safety and health policy, job- or task-specific training, refresher trainings, safety and health tasks assigned to a person or position, periodic self-inspection for hazards, employee participation in safety and health program, and an effective hazard reporting system.
“We are proud to be chosen for this award recognizing the commitment to safety by every employee at Spika Design and Manufacturing,” said Katie Spika, CEO of Spika. “We realize that we can’t truly present ourselves as a company that advocates for safe workplaces if we don’t take safety seriously inside our own walls. Our team is doing a great job living one of our core values to Own It when safety issues arise.”
