Industry safety is paramount to CRA and its members, as it encompasses both the protection of industry employees, as well as our neighbors who live near CRA member production facilities. To recognize achievements in plant safety each year, CRA honors corn wet milling facilities across the country for their outstanding safety records and their unyielding commitment to ensuring an accident-free workplace. 

A safe workplace is proven to improve employee engagement, product quality and reliability in the process, but most importantly, a safe workplace ensures everyone goes home to their family and friends at the end of each day.

About the Safety Awards

The One Million Hours Award acknowledges facilities that operate for 1 million consecutive employee hours without an employee lost workday case and without a workplace-related fatality of an employee or non-employee.

The Zero Lost Work Days Award acknowledges facilities for operating a full calendar year without an employee lost workday case and without a workplace-related fatality of an employee or non-employee.

The Incident Rate Excellence Award recognizes those plants that have achieved a superior level of safety for the calendar year, as demonstrated by:

  • An employee total recordable incident rate of 1.0 or less,
  • No employee lost workday cases involving days away from work; and
  • No employee or non-employee workplace fatalities.
