Nominations open for Rockwell Automation 2014 Manufacturing Safety Excellence Awards

Rockwell Automation is calling for nominations for its second annual Manufacturing Safety Excellence Awards. The awards recognise the world’s safest manufacturing companies - those with a strong safety culture, well-executed compliance procedures and effective use of current safeguarding and automation technology.

The awards also recognise manufacturers that demonstrate a comprehensive approach to safety by successfully integrating safety practices between the engineering and environmental health and safety departments. This helps enable the kind of collaboration that goes beyond compliance to dramatically reducing injury rates while improving plant productivity.

“The 2013 winners - General Motors, PepsiCo and Procter & Gamble - were selected because they make safety not only a priority, but a core value,” said Mark Eitzman, safety market development manager at Rockwell Automation.  

The awards are open to manufacturers, machine builders (OEMs) and system integrators. Nominations are due by 15 September and winners will be announced at the Safety Leadership Conference, to be held from 27-29 October in Indianapolis.

To nominate a company, complete the entry form and email it to swludwig@ra.rockwell.com with “Safety Excellence Award Nomination” in the subject line or mail it to the following address: Rockwell Automation, Attn: Steve Ludwig - Safety Excellence Award, 1 Allen Bradley Drive, Mayfield Heights, OH 44124 USA.
