T.O. Haas Receives OSHA Safety Recognition

The Nebraska Department of Labor officially welcomed two T.O. Haas Tire (www.tohaastire.com) locations to the Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Award Program (SHARP).  SHARP is regulated by OSHA and recognizes small employers who operate an exemplary safety and health management system.  The two stores receiving the award are located at 640 West O Street and 8300 Dawson Creek Bay in Lincoln.

The award is a major achievement for the company because currently there are only nine employers in the state of Nebraska who participate in the SHARP program and T.O. Haas Tire holds the largest number of awards with a total of 14 SHARP certified locations in the state of Nebraska and 4 more in Kansas and Iowa.Through SHARP, safety has become a key feature of the company’s culture and is demonstrated by regularly scheduled safety meetings and inspections where workers have an opportunity to voice their safety and health concerns and receive assurance that real action will be taken to resolve issues brought to the table.

T.O. Haas Tire operates a chain of 25 retail tire and automotive service facilities in Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa.  The firm is headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska.  For more information about the company, go to www.tohaastire.com.
