MCO Recycling of Idaho Earns OSHA ‘SHARP’ Status
IMCO Recycling of Idaho has earned membership in the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP). A recognition ceremony recently was held at the company’s plant in Post Falls, Idaho.
“IMCO Recycling of Idaho has identified safety as a core value in its business plan,” said Richard Terrill, OSHA’s regional administrator in Seattle. “In collaboration with employees, the company continues to improve on its already excellent safety and health management system.”
IMCO Recycling of Idaho’s aluminum recycling operations convert beverage cans, scrap and dross (a by-product of aluminum melting) to aluminum. The Post Falls facility has 26 employees.
In addition to its safety and health management system, the plant has an injury and illness case rate well below the industry average. As a participating SHARP company, IMCO Recycling of Idaho is exempt from OSHA programmed inspections until July 6, 2009.
Through SHARP, OSHA recognizes smaller employers that implement, operate and continuously improve exemplary safety and health management systems at their worksites. SHARP status, which is designed to provide incentives and support to employers, may be renewed.
