PML Receives Governor's Safety Award

Pyramid Mountain Lumber was awarded the 2004 Governor’s Award for Safety and Health during the Annual Governor's Conference on Workers' Compensation and Safety.

The purpose of the annual awards program is to recognize employers who have made outstanding achievements in improving safety and health in the workplace by initiating and updating programs in their individual companies.

Pyramid Mountain Lumber was chosen for its commitment to ongoing safety programs, involving their own employees in the development of the in-house safety plan, and efforts to enhance their program by seeking advice and assistance of qualified professionals at the state and federal level.

"The Governor's Awards are Montana's highest honors given to businesses in both the public and private sectors for excellence in improving safety and health in the workplace," Commissioner Wendy Keating, stated. “These employers know that investing in a safe workplace can have a positive impact on productivity.”

The Safety and Health Bureau of the Department of Labor and Industry coordinates the awards competition.
