Triumph Foods Earns Meat Institute Worker Safety Award of Honor for Fifth Consecutive Year
“Triumph Foods and their leadership are being recognized for continuing to prioritize the health and safety of the hard workers who help feed America,” said Meat Institute President and CEO Julie Anna Potts. “These awards celebrate the commitments made by companies to continuously improve their workplace safety practices and reduce workplace injuries.”
The Worker Safety Recognition Awards honor plants that have achieved a high level of safety performance as part of the continuing effort to reduce occupational injury and illness.
“Earning this award five years in a row is a testament to the dedication of every team member on our plant floor,” said Triumph Foods President and CEO Matt England. “Safety isn’t just a program here – it’s part of who we are. Our people show up every day committed to looking out for one another, and that’s what makes this recognition possible.”
“On behalf of UFCW Local 2, we congratulate Triumph Foods on receiving the NAMI Award of Honor in Safety for the fifth consecutive year,” said Martin Rosas, President, UFCW Local 2. “Workplace safety is a shared responsibility, and recognition like this reflects the ongoing commitment of frontline workers, union stewards, and management working together to maintain strong safety standards. We remain committed to ensuring that safety continues to be a top priority for every worker on the plant floor.”
The awards are based on a National Safety Council (NSC) evaluation of each eligible establishment’s actual safety performance as well as its implementation of various key components of an effective safety and health program. The NSC staff examined Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Total Recordable Cases rate and the rate for Cases With Days Away From Work, Job Transfer, or Restriction (DART) data for each facility.
Triumph Foods was also recognized in the Meat Institute’s Community Impact and Corporate Wellbeing Award program for the company’s efforts to improve health and wellness in its local and corporate communities. Both awards were presented at the Meat Institute’s Environment, Labor and Safety Conference.
