Bates Troy Marks 17 Months Without a Lost-Time Injury

Posted April 20, 2018 at 11:14 am



Bates Troy Inc., Binghamton, NY, recently was honored by its insurance carrier for working nearly 1.5 years without experiencing a lost-time injury among its staff of 110 people who work in their healthcare plant and three retail dry-cleaning stores, according to a news release.

Jeanette Kinsella, senior loss prevention consultant for the Syracuse office of Strategic Comp, a division of Great American Insurance, recently visited Bates Troy. She presented company officials with a commemorative plaque in recognition of their incident-prevention efforts.

Kinsella noted that she distributes very few of these awards. Last December, Bates Troy passed the one-year mark for no lost-time injuries. However, scheduling delays pushed back the timing of the presentation of the plaque to mid-April. The company now has gone nearly 17 months without a lost-time incident.

“Bates Troy takes pride in this as it illustrates the importance we place on our employees’ safety and the success of long-term policies, training and efforts to maintain a safe working environment,” the release said.
