The Southern Minnesota Municipal Power Agency (SMMPA) will be recognized for excellence in workplace safety and health during the 2022 Minnesota Safety and Health Conference, May 3-4. SMMPA is one of 191 employers to be honored through the awards program. This is the fourth consecutive year that SMMPA has received the Governor’s Safety Award.
“We place a high priority on ensuring that our entire team returns home safe and healthy at the end of each workday,” said SMMPA Chief Executive Officer Dave Geschwind. “We are honored to join like-minded employers around the state in being recognized for our efforts to foster a safety-oriented work culture.”
Since 1934, the annual Governor’s Safety Awards program has honored Minnesota employers with exceptional safety performance. Applicants are judged on several years of injury data as it compares with their industry’s national statistics, and on their progress in implementing a comprehensive safety program.
