Hormel Foods Locations Receive AMI Worker Safety Awards
On April 15, 2008, seventeen Hormel Foods locations were honored with Worker Safety Awards by the American Meat Institute. The primary goals are to motivate participating facilities to improve their safety performance and to recognize those locations that have achieved a high level of safety performance.
The awards are earned based on an evaluation of each eligible facility’s safety performance, as well as its implementation of an effective safety and health program.
