Oldcastle Precast Comapnies Earn TOP 2011 ACPA Safety Awards

June 6, 2012 - PRLog -- MAY 2012: Littleton, CO- Once again, Oldcastle Precast received multiple top honors for outstanding safety practices from the American Concrete Pipe Association.  Each year, the American Concrete Pipe Association (ACPA) recognizes all Association members who have exhibited an exemplary safety performance during the program year. Highlighting the year for Oldcastle Precast was their plant in Croydon, PA who received the 2011 Chairman’s Safety Award which recognizes the company that has implemented successful safety initiatives resulting in a safer and more productive workplace.

Oldcastle Precast-Croydon earned the distinction of the 2011 Chairman’s Safety Award for its development of an innovative tipout device. Using their creativity and ingenuity in developing important new approaches to safety will benefit not only their own workers, but those in other plants throughout the North American concrete pipe industry. The plant received a $1,000 check to be distributed to key employees, along with a large trophy that it will keep on-site until next year’s winner is announced.

Furthermore Oldcastle Precast would like to distinguish Oldcastle Precast-Lebanon, TN for receiving the 2011 Zero Incident Rate with over 3,000 Days since a lost-time accident.

Correspondingly, Oldcastle Precast would like to congratulate the plants who received 2011 safety awards in which ACPA recognized plants that have exhibited an exemplary safety performance during the program year in one or more of the five safety award categories: Group First Place (based on man-hours), Zero Incidence Rate, Zero Lost-Time Incidence Rate, Incidence Rate Less than Four, and Incidence Rate Less than Eight.

These award-winning companies, and the talented professionals that work in these plants, are simply the cream of the crop. We are very proud of their outstanding achievements and we hold them up as examples for others to emulate.
