The Joint Safety and Health Council, made up of safety and health professionals of member organizations of the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association, National Chicken Council, and National Turkey Federation, created the “Joint Safety & Health Council Frank Cruice Innovation in Safety & Health Award” in 2022. The awards aim to highlight the development of “equipment-based” and “process-based” innovations created by workers in the industry. The innovations must be pioneering or novel solutions proven to reduce occupational injuries/illnesses or improve safety awareness on the job or in public outreach.
What better environment to highlight these enrichments than at the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE), where industry leaders come from around the world to learn about the latest innovations in production, processing, and packaging. The Joint Safety and Health Council is excited to showcase four award winners recognized in 2023 who were honored at a special ceremony at the 2024 IPPE.
