The N.C. Department of Labor is now accepting applications from businesses that qualify for a workplace safety award.
Safety awards are given to companies that have above-average worker safety and health programs.
“A safety award shows employees and the community that you are committed to a safe work environment,” state Labor Commissioner Cherie Berry said. “A good safety record is something to be proud of, and businesses deserve to be recognized for their efforts.”
