This annual award recognizes facilities that accomplish one million, two million and up in million increments of consecutive man-hours worked without incurring an occupational injury or illness that results in days away from work or death.  Candidates for the 2006 or 2007 award must apply by January 15, 2008. The awards will be presented at the Metalcasting Congress President’s Luncheon.

“AFS is committed to making workplace safety a top priority, and we feel this award will help recognize efforts by our corporate members,” said Jerry Call, AFS executive vice president.
