Monday, April 25, 2011 Cooper Earns Two RMA SHIP Awards
 Cooper Tire & Rubber Company announced that its Tall Timbers Mold Operations facility in Findlay, Ohio, and the Tupelo, Miss., manufacturing facility both earned Safety and Health Improvement Program awards for worker health and safety at the Rubber Manufacturers Association's annual meeting April 14. Tall Timbers won an "Excellence" award and the Tupelo facility received an "Improvement" award.
The RMA's Safety and Health Improvement Program, created in 1981, recognizes member companies that achieve significant enhancements in worker health and safety with awards. The SHIP awards encourage and reward a company's demonstrated commitment to worker health and safety.
Two categories of awards are presented to companies that demonstrate workplace safety improvements, which are measured by the incidence rate for lost workday cases. The excellence category is for facilities that achieve an incidence rate that is 75 percent better than the average achieved by plants that provide data to RMA. The improvement award is for plants that achieve an incidence rate that is both 10 percent better than its rate in the previous year and the same or better than the RMA average incidence rate.
