Kentucky Organizations Recognized For Keeping Workers Safe
KEMI Announces Destiny Award Winners for 2022
LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- At a time in which most businesses are struggling to hire and retain employees, keeping available workers healthy and on the job is imperative. Yet, the Bureau of Labor Statistics cited 2.7 million nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses in 2020, within the private industry alone. Many of these injuries, and the personal and professional difficulties that they caused, could have been prevented.
