Wayne-Sanderson receives 13 facility awards during safety conference
OAKWOOD, Ga. — Wayne-Sanderson Farms was recently recognized for stellar safety performance as industry leaders and peers joined company safety and leadership staff at the recent annual National Safety Conference for the Poultry Industry. The company received 13 separate facility awards during the industry’s largest annual safety-focused event.
The company added that the awards validate the company’s approach to employee safety and health under the leadership of Reggie McLee, Wayne-Sanderson vice president, health and safety, who launched the Zero Accident Culture initiative in 2015 to emphasize personal responsibility for safe workplace practices.
“Making sure our workforce knows the importance of a safe working environment is only part of it,” McLee said. “But showing we care enough about each other to require safe practices from everyone on the team is how we make it happen.”
