Skyline Corp. receives K-Safe Award
Skyline Corporation, was recognized Friday in Ark City
by the Kansas Department of Labor for surpassing 100,000 hours without a lost-time
injury and was given the K-Safe Award by Herb Holmberg, a safety consultant with the
Kansas Department of Labor.
In addition to the 100,000 hours without a lost-time accident, the facility has gone over
638 days while working almost 250,000 hours without a lost-time injury.
"You can have all the safety programs and policies in place, but if you don't have people
that want to be safe then there isn't a program that works," Production Manager Joel
Beasley said.
"We think it's a great deal. We're very safety conscious," Skyline employee Guy Marlar
said. Beasley attributes much of their safety awareness to looking out and taking care of
each other.
"Receiving the award is good. It's just constant work at looking after everybody else and
being aware of your surroundings," employee Tom Voorhis said.
Beasley said he thanks Clifford Morris, a safety and health supervisor with Kansas, for
his consultations, which have contributed to a safer work environment.
