AUGUSTA — Two locations of Hancock Lumber have earned the Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program Award in recognition of its rigorous safety achievement program.
Hancock Lumber in Bethel and Casco will be presented certificates and banners by Commissioner of Labor Jeanne Paquette.
To qualify for SHARP, companies must:
• Voluntarily undergo a comprehensive safety audit;
• Correct all hazards identified during an on-site health and safety consultation;
• Demonstrate that effective safety and health programs are in place; and
• Maintain injury rates below the industry average for the past year of completed data.
After awarding the SHARP designation, OSHA removes the work site from its general scheduled inspection list for two years. If the company continues to meet all conditions of the program, the SHARP designation may be renewed for another two years.
Fewer than 2,000 work sites in the United States have earned SHARP certification.
