Safety Recognition Program

The Safety Recognition Program was created to establish a safety incentive and recognize individual bakery and allied company sites which excel in safety. The program has increased workplace safety awareness and emphasizes the importance of employee safety in the baking and allied industries.

Since the program's launch in 2016, the following facilities have been awarded: 

2016 - 55 Awarded Facilities
2017 - 156 Awarded Facilities
2018 - 169 Awarded Facilities
2019 - 124 Awarded Facilities
2020 - 128 Awarded Facilities

Program Details: 

• Participating members will be categorized by the size of the facility. Each individual facility will then be ranked only with other companies within its size category.
• Award criteria are based on an evaluation of each participating facility’s actual safety performance and implementation of effective safety and health management systems.  
• Actual safety performance will be determined by a facility’s Total Case Incident Rate (TCIR) and the Days Away, Restricted Work Activity (DART) and how they compare to the industry average.
