The N.C. Department of Labor recognized area employers and employees at the agency’s annual safety awards banquet held on Tuesday, April 18, in Goldsboro at the Lane Tree Golf Club.
“North Carolina’s employers and employees show us the true importance of a strong commitment to safety and health each and every day,” Labor Commissioner Josh Dobson said. “I am looking forward to meeting and recognizing more people in-person this year at our award banquets around the state. North Carolina’s injury and illness rate remains at an historic low. These businesses’ dedication to safety is the reason why North Carolina is one of the safest states in which to work and they deserve this distinguished recognition.”
The awards honor outstanding on-the-job safety achievements of each recipient during 2022. Recipients recognized are located in Goldsboro and surrounding counties.
Commissioner Dobson was the keynote remarks at the meeting hosted by the Wayne County Chamber of Commerce.
