USAE’s Safety Stars Emphasis Program launched recently with the Baseball Cap Recognition Award. The award is meant to encourage employees to focus on continual improvement of USAE’s Safety and Health Program by making safety suggestions, showing consistently excellent safety practices, and encouraging co-workers to improve their safety performance.
The Baseball Cap Recognition Award program recognizes employees on a project site, or corporate offices, for demonstrating a commitment to safety. Awardees of this safety initiative are honored with a special logo printed baseball cap designating them as “Safety Stars”.
Congratulations to our Safety Stars
