Associates at Perdue Foods’ Monterey, Tenn., operation achieved a safety milestone on Oct. 17, 2016, after working four million production hours without experiencing an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recordable lost-time case. Counting toward the milestone began in July 2014.
“We’re very proud of the safety culture that we’ve created in Monterey,” said Jeff Beckman, director of operations. “Working safely and looking out for one another is a responsibility shared by each member of our team. There’s nothing more important than the safety of our people.”
