Tennessee Department of Labor & Workforce Development Commissioner Burns Phillips recently announced that ABC INOAC Exterior Systems located in Livingston was chosen to receive the Volunteer STAR (Safety Through Accountability and Recognition) award.
“ABC INOAC Exterior Systems has met the evaluation standards required to receive this award by proving their ability to uphold an excellent safety record,” said Tennessee Department of Labor & Workforce Development Commissioner Burns Phillips, who presented the Volunteer STAR award at the company’s facility located at 132 Industrial Park Circle in Livingston. “It is evident ABC INOAC Exterior Systems is extremely dedicated to maintaining a safe and healthy workplace.”
The Volunteer STAR award is the state’s highest honor for workplace safety and health and a nationally recognized program. The Volunteer STAR is patterned after the OSHA Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) and recognizes the best of the best in the area of safety and health programming and performance.
“The safety culture at ABC INOAC Exterior Systems – Livingston, TN has been our top priority since beginning operations in 1987,” said Gary Tapocsi, ABC INOAC’s plant manager. “We are pleased to be a four-time recipient of this prestigious award that recognizes our commitment to maintaining a safe and healthy workplace for our people. We believe this commitment is critical to our success and could not be achieved without each employee’s participation.”
The standard for participation in the STAR program is the confirmation of a company’s safety and health program, which helps reduce accidents and injuries. The program also allows employers to be removed from programmed compliance inspection lists for a period of three years.
