MEMIC honors employers
for Outstanding Workplace Safety
PRESQUE ISLE — At its annual meeting last week, workers’ compensation insurer MEMIC presented awards for workplace safety to six of its more than 20,000 policyholders.
At the Portland Museum of Art, Vice President for Loss Control and Safety Karl Siegfried paid tribute to several employers for their workplace safety efforts. Honorees included Northeast Packaging Company, of Presque Isle.
“We are pleased to have the opportunity to recognize businesses that have worked hard to stand out from the crowd,” said Siegfried. “Theses policyholders exemplify, each in their own unique way, how smart businesses operate by putting worker safety first.”
Northeast Packaging Company, established in 1972, supplies farms with produce shipping materials such as bags and other packaging. A family-owned and -operated company, Northeast Packaging uses state-of-the-art equipment and techniques — both in its manufacturing processes and in its safety procedures. Positive changes in the company’s safety procedures can be seen through daily meetings, employee-directed safety audits and the owner’s commitment to make safety a priority.
