Infoshred Awarded for Its Commitment to Workplace Safety and Health;
Connecticut Department of Labor Recognizes South Windsor Company With
Prestigious “SHARP” Certification
South Windsor, CT (July, 2004) – Infoshred, LLC has earned the distinction of
being one of only 20 companies in New England to earn the highest certification
for workplace safety and health. The Connecticut Department of Labor's Division
of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (CONN-OSHA) and the U.S.
Department of Labor awarded Infoshred for completing the Safety and Health
Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP).
A voluntary program, SHARP recognizes small employers who operate an
exemplary safety and health management system. According to the Department of
Labor, companies participating in SHARP, must request a consultation visit that
involves a complete hazard identification survey and involve employees in the
consultation process. All identified hazards must then be corrected and the
company must implement a safety and health management system to lower the
Lost-Workday Injury and Illness Rate (LWDII) and Total Recordable Case Rate (TRCR)
below the national average.
With rigorous standards, fewer than 700 companies nationally have achieved
SHARP certification. Infoshred demonstrated its commitment to health and safety
by establishing and strictly adhering to an individualized workplace plan,
according to Richard Palo, Acting Director of CONN-OSHA.
“At Infoshred, our two foremost concerns are safety for our employees and
security for our customers,” said Jack DiPiazza, general manager. “We have 18
employees and operate a state-of-the-art secure facility that includes a
125-horsepower industrial shredding machine, conveyors, and bailing equipment.
We were pleased to work with the CONN-OSHA consultants to improve our overall
safety level and we’re proud to have earned the SHARP certification.”
The award was presented to Infoshred at the First Annual SHARP Luncheon at
the Glen Ellen Country Club in Millis, Mass. The event recognized companies in
the New England Region and was sponsored by the Massachusetts Division of
Occupation Safety On-Site Consultation Program.
Founded in 1993, Infoshred, LLC is a leading provider of secure document
management services. The company is a charter member of NAID, the National
Association of Information Destruction, and is rated "AAA" certified, the
highest possible rating for security, compliance and customer service. Infoshred
