(INDIANAPOLIS) - Wagner-Meinert, LLC, of Fort Wayne, is now a certified participant in the Indiana Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (INSHARP) and joins other select Hoosier worksites in representing exemplary occupational safety and health.

Wagner-Meinert, LLC, specializes in the design, installation, and servicing of Freon and ammonia refrigeration systems for food process industries, cold storage distribution facilities, pharmaceutical, and fertilizer industries. The Fort Wayne facility has been in business for 25 years at their current location and employs about 100 on-site workers, and 175 company-wide.

"It is our agency's pleasure to recognize outstanding safety and health in this facility," said Indiana Department of Labor Commissioner Rick Ruble, congratulating the management and employees of the small company. "Thank you to the hardworking staff at Wagner-Meinert for your commitment to keeping yourselves and each other safe every day,"

Wagner-Meinert has an average total recordable case rate of 1.3 for the past three years, nearly half the national industry average of 4.2.

The Indiana Safety and Health Recognition Program provided by the state labor agency, recognizes Hoosier employers that operate exemplary safety and health management systems. Certification in INSHARP is an achievement of status that will single employers out among their business peers as a model worksite for Hoosier workplace safety and health.
