Brunswick Corporation: Brunswick Facilities Worldwide Achieve Safety Recognition
LAKE FOREST, Ill., April 20, 2016 - Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC) announced
today the recipients of its safety award program for 2015. The purpose of the
program is to encourage, recognize and reward employees and facilities that have
achieved outstanding safety and health performance through promoting and
practicing safety awareness, ultimately minimizing workplace incidents and
injuries.
All Brunswick manufacturing, engineering and distribution facilities worldwide
are eligible for such recognition. In 2015, three facilities won the Chairman's
Safety Award, the Company's highest honor in the category, and each will direct
a $10,000 donation to a local charity of its choice. Meanwhile, 24 additional
facilities were recognized with Distinguished Safety Awards for their 2015
safety performance. In all, 37 facilities were cited by Brunswick for achieving
no lost-time incidents during 2015, though all did not qualify for either the
Chairman's Safety or Distinguished Safety awards, which include additional
criteria.
The Chairman's Safety Award is selected and presented by Brunswick senior
management to the most outstanding performers. The separate Distinguished
Safety Award designation is achieved by meeting specific safety performance
results, which include incident rates and other Brunswick criteria.
The three facilities that have won the prestigious Chairman's Safety Award for
2015 include:
* St. Cloud, Fla., Mercury Marine,
* Dandedong, Australia, Mercury Marine Regional Distribution Center, and
