Firestone Industrial Products, LLC (FSIP), a company with more than 80 years of experience developing technology to eliminate vibration in global transportation, announced that the company’s Williamsburg, Kentucky, manufacturing facility has received its fifth Governor’s Health and Safety Award for achieving 3 million hours worked without a lost-time incident.

The Kentucky Labor Cabinet presented the Governor’s Safety and Health Award to the FSIP team members at the Williamsburg plant at a ceremony held on May 18. The award provides special recognition for outstanding safety and health performance and encourages the development of programs designed to reduce and even eliminate occupational injuries and illnesses. It is awarded to employers and their employees, who together have achieved the minimum required number of hours worked without experiencing a lost-time injury or illness at their establishment.

“The Governor’s Health and Safety Award is a testament to the Williamsburg plant’s commitment to creating a safe work environment and is a shining example of the Firestone core commitment to ‘Safety First, Always,’” said Jim DeMouy, vice president of environmental, health, safety and sustainability for Bridgestone Americas. “From leadership to the plant floor, all of our team members have safety top-of-mind and strive to manufacture high quality industrial products in the safest way possible.”

In addition to this latest achievement, the Williamsburg FSIP plant has received four other Governor’s Awards in recognition of its exemplary safety and health performance. The plant celebrates its 29th anniversary this year.
