BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 25, 2013 – Western Aircraft, a Greenwich AeroGroup company, announced
today that for the seventh year in a row it has received the OSHA Safety and Health
Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) award, for its exemplary safety and training.
“We are very pleased to be recognized for our dedication to a safe work environment,” said
Western Aircraft’s Manager of Environmental Health and Safety Miguel Velasco. “The well-being
of our employees and our customers is paramount.”
Velasco added that some of the contributing factors to the overall success of Western’s safety
record include their employee’s involvement in identifying hazards, the site-wide weekly sharing
of electronic dashboards with safety statistics, safety awareness posters throughout the work
site and an active safety committee.
SHARP recognizes employers with less than 250 employees who operate excellent safety and
health management systems. SHARP is one of the highest awards OSHA can give to a small
company.
