The National Safety Council (NSC) presented its prestigious "2018 Community Advancement Award" to Rockford Systems LLC for its continued dedication to safety in its hometown of Rockford, Illinois and beyond.
The NSC's distinguished panel of experts honored the company for its multifaceted community achievements over the past year, which included its planned donation and installation of safeguarding equipment on 25 machines in the machine shop of Guilford High School in Rockford, IL. Expected to be completed by December, the installation came about after company employees learned that two students at the high school had suffered hand injuries in the shop. Along with the installation, Rockford Systems professionals will instruct students on basic machine safety techniques, as well as how to properly use their new equipment to prevent accidents.
