The combined commitment to workplace safety by Perdue and its associates netted NC Department of Labor Safety Awards for Perdue’s North Carolina operations, including all three plants in the state.
Associates at Perdue’s further-processing operations in Concord and Lewiston-Woodville received the Commissioner’s Gold Award for the fourth year in a row for no lost workdays and a DART rate that was at least 50 percent below the statewide rate for its industry. The DART rate includes cases of days away from work, restricted activity or job transfer.
