EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.,
Oct. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- MTS Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: MTSC), a leading global
supplier of advanced test systems, motion simulators and precision
sensors, today announced receipt of an award recognizing
outstanding results in workplace health and safety.
MTS will receive an Outstanding Achievement Award from the
Minnesota Safety Council during the Governor's Safety Award
ceremony at the virtual MN/SD Safety & Health Conference later
this month. Since 1934, the Governor's Safety Awards program has
recognized employers that demonstrate exceptional safety
performance through lower than national average safety incident
rates and implementation of a comprehensive safety program.
Applicants are judged on multiple years of injury data and the
number of days of missed, reassigned or restricted work due to
injury as compared to safety statistics for industry peers. Award
applicants are also evaluated on workplace safety program
execution.
To earn an outstanding rating, a company must have received a
Meritorious Achievement Award by having a better than average
incident rate for three consecutive years and achieving a
qualifying score on the 100-point safety evaluation. In addition to
the previous award, a company must show continuous improvement with
an incident rate that is 51-90% better than industry average and a
score of 75-90 on the safety evaluation.
"Employee health, safety and well-being remain a top priority
for MTS," says Randy J. Martinez,
MTS Interim President and CEO. "MTS' commitment to safety is
evident in the work of the Environmental Health & Safety Team,
Incident Response Team, Safety Committee and trained in-house first
responders, as well as each person's daily efforts to help ensure a
safe working environment. This commitment enabled us to move
quickly to implement critical protocols to protect our employees
during the COVID-19 outbreak and ensure business continuity. MTS
thanks the Minnesota Safety Council for this prestigious
Outstanding Achievement Award and MTS employees for dedication to
maintaining and improving workplace health and safety."
"It is a pleasure to recognize MTS for safety excellence,"
states Paul Aasen, Minnesota Safety
Council President. "Safety is about time and attention and
diligence. We thank MTS for working hard to keep employees
safe."
