Cintas
Corporation (NASDAQ: CTAS) today announced that its location in
Greensboro, NC will receive the Carolina Star on Thursday, February 11th.
North Carolina OSHA awards Carolina Star recognition only to businesses
that have met very detailed and comprehensive safety requirements.
“Cintas is on a journey to achieve the highest level of safety
recognition at all of our locations,” stated Rick Gerlach, Sr. Director
of Safety and Health. “Earning OSHA’s VPP Star is not easy to do and we
are thrilled for the local management team and front-line
employee-partners for working together to achieve this recognition.”
There are approximately 14 million places of businesses in America, but
only 2,217 of these locations are currently recognized under the VPP
program. This Cintas location began its journey toward Carolina Star
designation a few years ago by creating a strong safety improvement
committee.
“Safety is a total team effort, and the level of engagement among our
employee-partners is outstanding,” stated Jeff Wilt, General Manager.
“I’m proud of our employee-partners for taking ownership and being
committed to making safety part of the way we do business.”
The Greensboro location, which employs 150 people, is the 34th Cintas
facility in the United States to receive the Carolina/VPP Star
designation since 2011. Cintas Corporation has approximately 330
facilities throughout the world actively pursuing VPP recognition by
OSHA or the equivalent under a similar certifying body. This includes
operations in the US, Canada, Mexico and Honduras.
