Knife River Corp.-North Central recently received a Governor’s Safety Award for superior performance in workplace safety and health from the Minnesota Safety Council.
“An effective safety program reduces injuries and costs, maximizes productivity and builds morale,” said Carol Butfon, president of the Minnesota Safety Council. “Employers like Knife River understand protecting employees is not only the right thing to do – it’s also good business.”
Since 1934, the annual Governor’s Safety Awards program has honored Minnesota employers with exceptional safety performance. Applicants are judged on several years of injury data as it compares with their industry’s national statistics, and on their progress in implementing a comprehensive safety program. Knife River received a Meritorious Achievement Award.
