Integrity Staffing Renews Safety Standard of Excellence® Mark from the American Staffing Association

NEWARK, Del., July 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrity Staffing Solutions recently renewed the Safety Standard of Excellence mark from the American Staffing Association. The program, developed by the American Staffing Association and National Safety Council, promotes staffing industry-wide safety standards through a uniform national program.

By participating in the Safety Standard of Excellence program, staffing agencies, their placed employees, and clients can build knowledge and a mutually beneficial relationship to identify and mitigate or even eliminate workplace hazards and exposures, ensure clear communication between the agencies and clients, and clearly delineate responsibilities of each party—all intended to reduce temporary and contract employee injuries, illnesses, and fatalities.

Renewal of the mark involves the successful completion of an assessment process, conducted by NSC, to ensure the staffing agency is continually enhancing its safety program and utilizing industry best practices.

"Creating and maintaining a safe work environment is the foundation for staffing industry excellence and is one of Integrity Staffing Solutions' top priorities," said Todd Bavol, Integrity Staffing Solutions co-founder, president, and chief executive officer. "Being recognized by ASA and NSC is an honor, and it sets the expectation with clients, associates, and staff that the company is fully committed to ensuring a safe work environment on a national scale."

Promoting and ensuring temporary and contract employee safety and well-being is the responsibility of every staffing agency. In 2013, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration launched the temporary worker initiative focused on compliance with safety and health requirements when temporary, and contract workers are employed under the joint or dual employment of a staffing agency and a host employer. The initiative asserts both host employers and staffing agencies have roles in complying with workplace health and safety requirements, and they share responsibility for ensuring worker safety and health.

The Safety Standard of Excellence program is sponsored by World Wide Specialty Programs.
