Cobb-Vantress Inc. was recently recognized by the North Carolina Department of Labor with a gold award for the company’s exemplary safety records at its hatchery and production office in Wadesboro. A gold award, the department’s top honor, signifies that Cobb team members had a low rate of days away from work, job transfers or restrictions, and that these figures were more than 50 percent lower than the poultry industry average.
This award adds to the facilities’ existing accolades for 2017, which include a Joint Poultry Industry Safety Award of Honor for the hatchery and a Joint Poultry Industry Safety Award of Merit for the production center.
