The North Carolina Department of Labor (NCDOL) has awarded the 2-Million Hour Safety Award for accumulating more than two million employee hours with no cases of injury or illness resulting in lost work days.

"Scott is very proud that our statistics are well below the industry average and that we have accomplished such a significant task," said Jim Hollingsworth, Environmental Health & Safety Manager at Scott Health & Safety. "To date, we have worked 680 days without a loss time accident."
