SPARKS, NEV. – The Safety Consultation and Training Section (SCATS) of the State of Nevada’s Division of Industrial Relations recognizes the Papé Kenworth location in Sparks, Nevada for earning the Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) designation. This is the third Papé location in Nevada to achieve this distinction from SCATS, and first award for the Papé Kenworth location in Sparks.
“The SHARP designation reflects the hard work and dedication our members have put in towards making our location a safe work environment,” said Jason Muggy, Papé Kenworth General Manager. “This partnership with SCATS has become a cornerstone for our safety excellence program within the company, and we look forward to working with SCATS to keep improving our best practices in the future.”
Papé Kenworth is part of an elite group of businesses that have achieved SHARP status by maintaining exemplary health and safety standards. Participation in the no-cost program provides incentives and support to employers to develop, implement and continuously improve programs at their worksite(s). By taking these proactive measures, businesses can reduce accident costs and ensure compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) regulations.
“The Papé team has once again displayed leadership in worksite safety with this renewal,” said Todd Schultz, Chief Administrative Officer for SCATS. “The company’s dedication to employee well-being is exemplary, and we are proud to continue our partnership with Papé.”
SCATS consultants provide employers with confidential hazard identification, program development, implementation assistance and training. Employers who implement effective safety programs and have a days-away restricted transfer (DART) rate below the national average for their industry may be recognized by SCATS. Successful SHARP participants may receive up to a three-year deferral from OSHA’s general schedule inspections.
Businesses interested in SHARP can contact SCATS at 775-688-3730 (Reno) or 702-486-9140 (Las Vegas). For more information or to schedule free training courses, businesses can call 1-877-4SAFENV, or visit 4safenv.state.nv.us.
