Otis’ North American Manufacturing Center of Excellence in Florence, South Carolina, recently received the Palmetto Shining Star Award from the South Carolina Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the state Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation. Approximately 600 people work at the 423,000-ft2 facility, and have logged more than 6 million work hours without a lost-time injury. To receive the Palmetto award, organizations in the private sector must meet one of the following four criteria: no recordable injuries or illnesses in calendar year 2021, a reduction of at least 40% in the employer’s incidence rate between 2020 and 2021, a difference of at least 75% in the employer’s 2021 incidence rate and the 2020 South Carolina average rate for that industry, and working 1 million or more safe hours without a lost-time injury or illness. The Florence site met all four criteria.
