Baldor Electric’s Fort Smith employees achieve Arkansas safety record
On May 10, 2016, the Baldor employees of the Fort Smith motor plant completed 15 million hours without a lost-time accident. They have been working toward this achievement since August 26, 2010.
During a recognition ceremony held June 16 on the Fort Smith campus, Leon Jones, Jr., director of the Arkansas Department of Labor, presented a plaque to a member of the safety committee and congratulated all of the employees. He noted that this plant was the first group of employees in Arkansas history to achieve this milestone. He added, “The best thing we can do today is to get everyone home safely.”
