Nevada’s Safety Consultation and Training Section Recognizes ADI For Creating Safe, Healthy Work Environment For Employees And Residents
The Safety Consultation and Training Section (SCATS) of the State of Nevada’s Division of Industrial Relations has recognized ADI in Reno, Nev., for its successful completion of the Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP).
The no-cost SHARP program is designed to assist employers to develop and implement effective safety and health programs. SHARP assists businesses to improve their return on investment, be in compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations and create added value of reducing their accident costs.
“This is our third SHARP certification and our fifth year in the program,” Steve Henderson, ADI Distribution Center Manager in Reno. “The company places safety as its No. 1 goal and the ultimately goal is if your people come to work healthy and safe that’s how they should go home too.”
James O’Neal, HSE and receiving supervisor for ADI in Reno, said the company looks at the SHARP certification process as a learning opportunity and finds it helpful to have the outside resource available to evaluate ADI’s safety programs.
ADI is a supplier of low voltage security, fire and home entertainment equipment. ADI’s Reno facility, which is a 140,000-square-foot warehouse with more than 50 employees, distributes merchandise to 22 West Coast branches and its customers.
Businesses interested in the SHARP program can contact SCATS at 775-824-4630. For more information on SCATS, or for a schedule of training courses offered at no charge by SCATS, call toll free 877-4SAFENV or visit www.4safenv.state.nv.us.
