St. Luke’s will be recognized for excellence in workplace safety
and health at the Governor’s Safety Awards luncheon on May 5 at
the Minneapolis Convention Center. St. Luke’s is one of 309 employers
to be honored through the awards program, coordinated by the Minnesota
Safety Council.
St. Luke’s was recognized for having an incidence rate that is better
than the industry average for at least three years, and a score between
50 and 74 on a 100-point safety program evaluation scale. “We work
hard to make St. Luke’s safe for all its employees,” said
Mike Marturano, St. Luke’s Safety Officer. “Every day, St.
Luke’s continues to strive to be a safe workplace environment for
employees.”
“Employers like St. Luke’s know that safety isn’t automatic,”
said Paul Aasen, president of the Minnesota Safety Council. “It
takes attention, dedication and continuous effort to protect their employees.”
The Governor’s Safety Awards luncheon is part of the 82nd Minnesota Safety & Health Conference, coordinated by the Minnesota
Safety Council. The conference is the oldest and largest gather of workplace
safety and health professionals in the region. The Minnesota Safety Council,
found in 1928, is a non-governmental, not-for-profit organization dedicated
to improving the quality of life in Minnesota by preventing unintentional injuries.
