Six Bridgestone Plants Receive RMA SHIP Awards

(Akron/Tire Review) The Rubber Manufacturers Association recently recognised six Bridgestone Americas facilities for outstanding safety performance.

Mark A. Emkes, chairman and CEO of Bridgestone Americas Holding, accepted the honors at the RMA meeting earlier this year. The six plants include Bridgestone/Firestone North American Tire facilities in Aiken County, South Caroline, Warren County, Tennessee, and Des Moines, Iowa, as well as Bridgestone Firestone Diversified Products facilities in Kingstree, South Carolina, Prescott, Arkanas, and Noblesville, Indiana.

RMA’s Safety and Health Improvement Program (SHIP) awards, created in 1981, acknowledge enhancements in worker health and safety and reward companies’ dedication to worker health and safety.
