IDFA highlights dairy industry’s culture of safety during OSHA’s Safe and Sound Week
The dairy industry has consistently decreased total recordable-case rates of occupational injuries or illness over the past 10 years.
The International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) said it is participating in Safe and Sound Week, a nationwide event held each August by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that recognizes the success of workplace safety and health programs. In 2019, IDFA is highlighting the dairy industry’s year-round culture of safety that keeps nearly 1 million employees safe and healthy on the job.
“Safety isn’t just something you talk about one week per year and expect to see results,” said Michael Dykes, D.V.M., IDFA’s president and CEO. “The dairy industry puts in the hours and effort every day to make safety a priority and part of our workplace culture. Dairy companies continually go above and beyond to implement innovative and proactive approaches to workplace safety.”
