County receives safety award

McLeod County was recognized by the Minnesota Safety Council for superior performance in workplace safety and health at the Governor’s Safety Awards luncheon May 7 at the Minneapolis Convention Center.
The award was presented at the May 19 McLeod County board of commissioners meeting. Receiving the honor were members of the safety committee: Donna Rickeman, Connie Kurtzweg, Kevin Mathews and Beth Ward.
“Employers like McLeod County know that safety isn’t automatic,” said Paul Aasen, president of the Minnesota Safety Council. “It takes attention, dedication and continuous effort to protect their employees.”
