Bridgestone Americas’ Bandag retread plant in Oxford, N.C., has been recognized as a Carolina Star Site by the North Carolina Department of Labor.
“Safety is ingrained in all operations at Bridgestone, and the team at our Oxford Plant have done an exceptional job living our company motto Safety First, Always” said Jim DeMouy, vice president of environment, health, safety and sustainability at Bridgestone Americas. “Achieving this level of safety for a second time is a testament to all teammates, from leadership to the plant floor who embrace safety as a core value.”
The Carolina Star Program recognizes sites that have a cooperative relationship between employees and management by implementing programs that meet a set of safety criteria, ensure a safe and healthful environment and demonstrate leadership by the company in the areas of health and safety.
