Herman Miller has been recognized by Occupational Hazards magazine as one of America's Safest Companies (ASC). The achievement is a result of survey responses from industry professionals who selected the company for its occupational health and safety philosophy and programs and its participation in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's Voluntary Protection Program.
"This recognition is a testament to the commitment and passion all of our employees demonstrate for making Herman Miller a safe work environment," said Ken Goodson, Executive Vice President of Operations.
Regardless of size or industry, the ASC program is open to companies that can clearly demonstrate that their safety process includes support from management, involvement of employees, innovative solutions to safety challenges, injury and illness rates lower than the average for their industries, and comprehensive educational programs for employees about safety-related topics.
The company will be featured as one of 18 ASC recipients in the publication's November 2008 issue.
