Jefferson City, MO – The Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations celebrated Labor Day by honoring the hardworking men and women who contribute to the state's economy. To commemorate this special day, yesterday the department visited Husky Corporation, a leading manufacturer of innovative fueling products and a 14-year recipient of the Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) award.

SHARP is a prestigious recognition awarded to businesses that have exemplary safety and health programs. Husky Corporation’s commitment to workplace safety and health is evident in their low injury and illness rates, comprehensive training programs, and strong safety culture.

The department’s visit to Husky Corporation served as an opportunity to recognize the company’s achievements and highlighted the importance of workplace safety and health. Representatives from the department toured the facility, met with company officials, and discussed the company’s safety initiatives.

“Husky Corporation is a wonderful example of a Missouri business that prioritizes the safety and well-being of its employees,” said Anna Hui, director of the Missouri Department of Labor. “We are proud to recognize their accomplishments and to highlight their commitment to workplace safety.”
