(DESHLER, Neb.) – Reinke Manufacturing, a global leader in irrigation systems and technology, has been honored as one of Nebraska’s Safest Companies by the Nebraska chapter of the National Safety Council.
“We’re very proud of our employees for helping to make job safety a top priority,” said Chris Roth, Reinke president. “With the additional safety challenges we all faced this last year, it was necessary to take precautions over and above our usual safety program to limit the spread of COVID-19 among our front-line teams.”
Reinke Safety and Environmental Manager, Darwin Dykes, worked with safety committee members within the company who helped set up divided workstations, communicated protocols and helped to ensure cleaning products and sanitizers were stocked throughout the facility.
“Employees have really stepped up and taken accountability for the safety program and that’s what’s driving our success,” said Dykes. “Even new hires were initiated into our safety culture right away. In my opinion, all departments have made excellent strides this last year.”
The Celebration of Safety annual event was held virtually on May 19 as Nebraska’s Safest Companies achieve notice for their dedication to outstanding safety programs designed to reduce injuries and save lives.
Founded in 1924 as the Omaha Safety Council, the National Safety Council – Nebraska Chapter is a chapter of the National Safety Council. Their mission is to promote safety and health by providing programs, resources, education, and advocacy to reduce both the personal and economic loss associated with injuries, accidents, and health hazards.
