Dover recognizes the value of safety and is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace. Our employees are our most valuable asset. One way we bring our commitment to life is through the awarding of our annual Safety Excellence Awards.
The 2019 award categories were divided into large sites, with over 150 employees and small sites, with 150 employees or fewer. Dover senior management selected and presented the awards to the most outstanding performers based on multiple factors. The excellence in safety designation is achieved by meeting specific safety performance results in both quantitative and qualitative categories, which include the total recordable incident rate, training hours and other Dover criteria.
