NADCA Awards Leaders in Die Casting Safety
Annual award focuses
on companies with records exceeding national average
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL – 04/24/24 – The North American Die
Casting Association (NADCA) is pleased to announce this year’s Safety Award Winners. NADCA’s
Safety Award Program was developed to honor Corporate
Members of the association with records that exceed the
average U.S. national safety standards for all manufacturing in a given year. The awards are based on each
company’s year-end safety records as submitted to OSHA for the previous year of
business. These companies will be recognized at NADCA’s Die Casting Congress
& Exposition taking place in Indianapolis, Indiana this coming September.
“The high pressure die casting industry continues to reduce
the Days Away, Restricted, and Transfer Rate,” commented NADCA Project Manager
Beau Glim. “This is because companies in
the industry have created a culture dedicated to keeping their employees
safe. The NADCA Safety Awards are a chance to recognize the companies that meet
the demanding criteria required to ensure safety for all."
The following companies have maintained a safety record during 2023
with 0 lost days/transfers/restrictions thus qualifying for a Perfect award.
