Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation (BWC) honored 13 local employers
for reaching one year without workplace injuries or illnesses that kept workers away from work for more
than a day.
The employers, members of the Wood County Safety Council, received BWC’s 100% Award during the safety
council’s annual awards ceremony this month.
“A healthy workforce is crucial to ensuring that Ohio’s economy remains strong, and I applaud these
businesses for their commitment to workplace safety,” said DeWine. “These Wood County employers have
demonstrated a commitment to safety, and I congratulate them on this special recognition.”
Local employers recognized with the the 100% Award include:
• B&B Repairs
• Bates Recycling, Inc.
• Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce
• Bowling Green Flight Center
• Control Design Solutions Ltd.
• Dunipace Buildings
• First Insurance Group
• John Newlove Real Estate, Inc.
• MCM Precision Castings, Inc.
• The Employers’ Association
• The Village of North Baltimore
• United Way in Wood County
• Bowling Green Community Development Foundation
“Running a business is demanding, and I congratulate these employers for understanding there can be no
compromising when it comes to workplace safety,” said BWC Administrator/CEO Stephanie McCloud. “Their
success in preventing injuries is paying off with this recognition. More importantly, their workers are
returning home each day injury free.”
Recipients of the 100% Award are among 24 local businesses that received awards. The council also honored
employers in three other award categories.
The Wood County Safety Council is one of more than 80 across the state that partner with BWC to educate
employers and workers about the importance of workplace safety.
