Safety

2010 EMR 0.69

Unitherm is proactive in promoting the health and well-being of our employees and in creating an injury free environment. When a company truly commits itself to safety, it can create a workplace in which employees can reasonably expect to have a career free of injury and illness. While Unitherm’s EMR rate of .69 is favorable to industry standards, we believe that all accidents are preventable.

To promote safety in the workplace and on the jobsite, we have adopted and are consistently enforcing our policy to operate in a safe, responsible manner, which emphasizes and respects the health and safety of all personnel.

Our safety policy is based on the following principles:

All injuries and occupational illnesses can be prevented.
Safety is everyone’s responsibility.
Management is directly responsible for preventing injuries and occupational illnesses.
Safety is a condition of employment.
Training is an essential element of a safe workplace.

Unitherm has taken a major step towards a safer workplace by developing an incentive program that pays employees to work safely. The incentive is team based and leads to work safe both individually and as a team.

Unitherm received the Safety Leadership Award for outstanding
committment to safety excellence at the NASCAR Hall of Fame Project.
