IDFA announces Dairy Industry Safety Recognition Award recipients
Eighty dairy foods operations are being recognized for outstanding achievements in worker safety.
The International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) said it is recognizing 80 dairy company operations for their outstanding achievements in worker safety. Each operation or plant will receive the IDFA Dairy Industry Safety Recognition Award this year. This is the 14th year that IDFA has sponsored the program, which highlights the outstanding worker safety records of U.S. dairy companies.
Award consideration was based on injury statistics required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that were compiled over the past three years, as well as on the evaluation of written applications by four judges: Dave Crowley, senior environmental health and safety director for HP Hood LLC and chair of IDFA’s Environmental Worker Safety Committee; Daniel R. Flynn, a partner at Dinsmore & Shohl LLP; Kathie Canning, editor-in-chief of Dairy Foods magazine; and Emily Lyons, IDFA’s director of regulatory affairs and counsel.
