Fabcon Earns Governor's Safety Award

Minnesota Safety Council recognizes Fabcon as one of the safest companies in the state

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SAVAGE, Minn. June 2, 2010 — The Minnesota Safety Council has honored Fabcon Inc. with a Governor’s Safety Award in recognition of the company's superior performance in workplace safety and health. Fabcon received a Meritorious Achievement Award in Occupational Safety.

Fabcon, one of America's leading manufacturers of precast concrete wall panels and other precast concrete products, was one of 256 employers recognized at the Governor's Safety Awards luncheon at the Minneapolis Convention Center on May 14.

"An effective safety program is an indicator of a successful organization," said Carol Bufton, president of the Minnesota Safety Council. "Employers like Fabcon understand that protecting employees is not only the right thing to do — it's also good business." "Providing a safe working environment is a company-wide priority at Fabcon," said Mike Le Jeune, president and CEO of Fabcon. "We're honored to receive this award and to be among the safest organizations in the state."

Since 1934, the annual Governor's Safety Awards program has honored Minnesota employers with exceptional safety performance. Applicants are judged on several years of injury data as it compares with state and national statistics, and on their progress in implementing a comprehensive safety program.

The Governor's Safety Awards luncheon is part of the 76th Minnesota Safety & Health Conference, coordinated by the Minnesota Safety Council. The conference is the oldest and largest gathering of workplace safety and health professionals in the region. The Minnesota Safety Council, founded in 1928, is a non-governmental, not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life in Minnesota by preventing unintentional injuries ("accidents").
