Yoh Achieves 50 Million Hours Without a Lost Time Incident
PHILADELPHIA, December 6, 2004 – Yoh, a Day & Zimmermann company and a leading provider of talent and outsourcing solutions, today announced that it has achieved 50 million work hours without a lost time incident. This significant accomplishment is just the latest illustration of the company's commitment to achieving the highest level of safety performance in the staffing industry.
"Safety is our number one corporate value. We have worked hard to develop a safety culture where each employee takes ownership of safety at home, at work and on the road," said Steven Young, National Safety Director for Yoh. "We have embraced the philosophy that prevention is better than cure and strive to ensure each employee's personal objective is to be aware of safety policies and procedures and continuously work to create a safe environment – whether they are working in a Yoh office or customer facility."
A key component of Yoh's safety program is whybesafe.com, a web site developed to promote contract employee safety awareness in a wide variety of work environments, including office, health care, industrial, telecommunications and laboratory settings. Visitors to the site receive a comprehensive safety orientation from "Bea Safe", Yoh's fictional safety spokesperson, as well as a library of safety tips and procedures detailing what to do in the event of an on-the-job accident or injury. All Yoh contract employees are required to visit whybesafe.com as part of their on-boarding process.
"This most recent safety milestone is a great achievement for the company and is a reflection of how employee safety is an integral part of Yoh's culture. World-class safety statistics like these are not achieved by chance – they require a unique dedication to awareness training and promotion of programs like whybesafe.com for all employees," said William Yoh, Yoh President and CEO.
