Haws Corporation, a Sparks-based manufacturer, was recently recognized by SCATS for their successful entry into the Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP). Haws Corporation worked with SCATS for two years to earn this award for excellence in workplace health and safety.
“As a company who has manufactured emergency response equipment for more than 60 years, safety is an essential part of our business,” said Melanie Mayer, Safety Supervisor /ISO Coordinator at Haws Corporation. “This attitude is reflected not only in the products we sell, but also in how we operate day-to-day and in our company culture. For us, safety is much more than a policy book; it’s a core value, which we apply to all aspects of our business. We recognize that the health and safety of our employees is integral to our success, and receiving the SHARP award demonstrates our commitment to maintaining a comprehensive and proactive safety program. This is a significant achievement for our team,”
Haws Corporation joins an elite group of businesses that have successfully entered the SHARP program by maintaining exemplary safety and health protocol. Participation in the no-cost program is designed to provide incentives and support to employers to develop, implement and continuously improve safety and health programs at their worksite(s). By taking these proactive measures, businesses can reduce accident costs and ensure compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) regulations.
“We are thrilled that Haws Corporation has earned its first SHARP award,” said Todd Schultz, Chief Administrative Officer for SCATS. “The company’s commitment to workplace safety is commendable, and this new SHARP status shows a true dedication to keeping their employees safe and healthy at work.”
SCATS consultants provide employers with confidential hazard identification, program development, program implementation assistance and training. Employers who implement effective safety and health programs and have a days away restricted transfer (DART) rate below the national average for their industry group may be recognized by SCATS. Successful SHARP participants receive a two-year exemption from OSHA’s general schedule inspections.
