AECOM Memphis Receives Governor's Award of Excellence for Safety
NASHVILLE - Tennessee Department of Labor & Workforce Development Commissioner Burns Phillips announced that AECOM located in Memphis, Tennessee, was chosen to receive the Governor’s Award of Excellence for Workplace Safety and Health.
“AECOM - Memphis has demonstrated strong commitment to maintaining a safe and healthy workplace," said TOSHA Administrator Steve Hawkins, who presented the award yesterday at the closing session of the Tennessee Safety and Health Congress in Nashville. “The evaluation criteria for this award are challenging, and this company has worked extremely hard to meet and exceed the standards the award requires.”
The Governor’s Award of Excellence honors Tennessee employers and employees who meet a required number of hours without workplace injuries serious enough to cause an employee to miss a day of work or restrict normal job activities. The number of hours required is based on the size of the company.
AECOM – Memphis performs industrial structure construction. The company employs 90 people and has qualified for the Governor’s Award by working more than 200,000 hours without a lost-time or restricted duty workplace injury or illness. The site’s injury-free record dates back to January 2013.
