Tragedies in the workplace command a lot of attention -- not so much when companies boast good records. Some records are so impressive, they catch the attention of the North Dakota Safety Council.
One recipient, Anthony Stoner, Environmental Health & Safety Manager for Integrity Windows & Doors, explains, "the recipients of the Safety Achievement Award, which is provided to those companies who achieve a greater than 50 percent reduction in their injury rates year over year, it's a challenge."

Wrapping up their annual four-day health and safety conference, the North Dakota Safety Council presented 138 awards to companies and employees for exemplary on-the-job safety records.
