The Liberty Mutual Gold Safety Award is the highest level award for a facility based upon an outstanding safety record without a single lost time accident in 2010.
“This recognition is proof of our steadfast commitment to our employees and our community, as well as evidence of our hard work,” said Kirk Rounds, general manager at Siemens’ Milan facility. “We are honored to receive such high accolades from Liberty Mutual, and we look forward to continued excellence in safety.”
