Awards

2005 Governor's Award for Safety  

The Governor’s Excellence in Workers’ Compensation Award program, sponsored by Governor Bob Taft and BWC Administrator/CEO William E. Mabe,  has for over a decade recognized Ohio businesses and public employers who provide a safe, cost-effective workplace for their employees, while supporting their injured workers.

In 2005, the State of Ohio formally recognized South Shore Controls, in part because of a perfect safety record; not a single recordable "lost-time" injury since it's inception in 1996.

Winners must also demonstrate exemplary commitment to creating a safe workplace in many ways:

• Administer an outstanding cost-containment program
• Exhibit active leadership by senior management
• Encourage employee involvement
• Achieve measurable results.

Shop Foreman Mike Shaffer, Installation Manager Matt Babcock, Controller Renee Keener, Engineering Manager Jim Kuharik, and President Rick Stark accept the Governor's Award
