The American Bakers Association (ABA) is proud to announce that applications are open for the 2025 Safety Recognition Program, an initiative that recognizes member company facilities for their
effective and successful safety manufacturing operations.
Since its launch in 2016, the Safety Recognition Program has awarded up to 190 facilities annually for their safety performance and implementation of safety and health management systems. Participation in the program continues to grow, with a 32% increase in member company participation for 2024. The program promotes greater workplace safety awareness and emphasizes the importance of employee safety in the baking manufacturing industry.
“The Safety Recognition Program highlights the commitment ABA member companies make every day to protect their people and strengthen their operations,” said ABA President and CEO Eric Dell. “By recognizing facilities that prioritize strong safety systems and continuous improvement, this program reinforces the importance of a culture where employee safety is integral to baking manufacturing excellence.”
Award submissions are due on March 20, 2026. Winners will be announced onstage at the 2026 ABA Convention on April 22, 2026.
