The Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association (TTMA) announced Strick Trailers, Monroe, Indiana, the winner in the Trailer Manufacturing Plant in Category B in the 2018 TTMA Plant Safety Contest. This the fourth time Strick Trailers has achieved this award since 2007.
The TTMA Plant Safety Contest began in 1971. The winners are those plants with the leading plant safety data on their OSHA 300A Summary Form. The awards are given in two classes; tank trailer manufacturers and general trailer manufacturers. Each category is divided into three categories determined by plant sizes as follows.
- Category A – Over 750,000 manhours
- Category B – 300,000 to 750,000 manhours
- Category C – Under 300,000 manhours
“We are honored to receive this award,” said Chris Burt, Strick Trailers Safety Leader. “Strick diligently focuses on safety every day. As a part of Strick’s mission statement, we take time and pride in working with our employees in all aspects of safety. Being proactive to come in whole and leave whole is a strong guiding philosophy.”
Burt also stressed that if appropriate safety measures are in place and employees are aware of hazardous conditions, the safety risks on the production floor are decreased immensely.
