The award recognizes Joa for its exemplary safety record in 2015. For the year, Joa had only eight recordable injuries with no time or days lost. Joa's recognition reinforces safety as a core value for the company.

Joa's approach to safety includes measuring and tracking the results of its programs, as well as encouraging prevention. Safety serves as a team effort, and the award represents the efforts made by everyone throughout the company in 2015.

The Safety Award was one of 14 awards the Chamber handed out to local businesses, nonprofits, educators and volunteers. To learn more about the Chamber awards, read the full recap of the night's events.
