HANOVER, Md., Jan. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Aerotek, a leading provider of recruiting and staffing services, announced today that it was recognized for the third consecutive year with the Safety Standard of Excellence mark from the American Staffing Association (ASA) and National Safety Council (NSC).

"As workplace technologies and processes are ever-evolving, we want to ensure the best in workplace safety in partnership with the American Staffing Association and National Safety Council."

An advocate for safer work environments, Aerotek has two members, Timothy S. Clark, Jr., environmental health and safety controller, and Scott Bicksler, lead regional safety manager, serving on ASA's Safety Committee.
