Cameron
accomplished this "three-peat" on Tuesday, March 14, by receiving their
third Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP)
Certification from the Department of Labor.
In
attendance were Cameron Glass employees as well as Brenda Reneau, Oklahoma
Labor Commissioner; Riza McCoy, Daniel Shaw, and Paige Jones, Oklahoma
Department of Labor; Pat McGuigan, Deputy Labor Commissioner; Linda Hensley
and Terri Cleveland, Broken Arrow Chamber of Commerce; Fred Razook and Bill
Ward, OSHA Consultants.
Reneau
began her presentation with praise for all Cameron employees. "I
wanted to be here today because you have accomplished something so rare. I
don’t think you understand just what an accomplishment this is. There is
only one other company in Oklahoma that has done this. Management can’t do
it - they have to give you support to do it yourself. It’s great how you
work together as a team."
She went on
to state that of 90,000 businesses in the state of Oklahoma, only 30 have
exemption. "You are one of only two that have recertified three
times," she said. "It is a testament to the kind of work ethic we have
in Oklahoma. It’s wonderful. I am so very proud of Oklahoma as a state,
and especially with what you’ve done."
Reneau
presented Cameron with the third commendation as well as a third "Safety
Pays" flag. "Even though you already have two flags, I am giving you
another because you have earned it," Reneau said.
Cameron
accepted the commendation and flag on behalf of all the employees at
Cameron. He expressed his appreciation for all of the hard work and
dedication each employee has committed to achieve this goal.
