American Packaging to Earn SHARP Award from OSHA, WSLH COLUMBUS, Wis. – American Packaging of Columbus, Wis., will receive the Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) award from the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) this Wednesday, October 4 at 11 a.m. at a special honor luncheon at the company’s Rotogravure Printing and Lamination Division at 850 West James Street in Columbus. American Packaging’s SHARP honor is one of only 14 in Wisconsin and less than 1,000 nationwide. Part of the Wisconsin OSHA Consultation Program, SHARP honors small and medium employers that operate top safety and health management systems, while also maintaining an injury and illness rate below the national average for their industry. The voluntary OSHA Consultation Program at the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene provides free assistance to employers to establish and maintain a safe and healthy workplace. Consultants conduct on-site monitoring for chemical, biological, radiological, and physical hazards; perform ergonomic evaluation; assess the employer's safety and health programs; and present occupational health-related training. For more information or if you wish to attend this event, please contact Jessica Burda, WSLH Public Affairs, at 608-890-0103. ### Posted By: Jessica D.
