Lifetouch National School Studios Receives Workplace Award

  • Tuesday, August 28, 2018

Tennessee Department of Labor & Workforce Development Commissioner Burns Phillips honored Lifetouch National School Studios, located in Chattanooga, with the Commissioner’s Award of Excellence for Workplace Safety and Health. 

“Lifetouch has demonstrated a strong commitment to maintaining a safe and healthy workplace," said Commissioner Phillips. “The evaluation criteria for this award are challenging, and this company has worked extremely hard to meet and exceed the standards the award requires.” 

Commissioner Phillips presented the award to representatives of the company at the Voluntary Protection Programs Participants' Association and Tennessee Safety and Health Conference’s Safety+ National Symposium which is currently taking place in Nashville.

The Commissioner’s Award of Excellence honors Tennessee employers and employees who meet a required number of hours without workplace injuries serious enough to cause an employee to miss a day of work. The number of hours required to be considered for the award is based on the size of the company.

“It is a great achievement for a company to receive the Commissioner’s Award,” said Tennessee OSHA Assistant Commissioner Steve Hawkins.  “Maintaining these standards isn’t easy, but a safe and healthy workplace is critical for employees and it is a good business practice for Tennessee employers.”

Lifetouch is a printing operation which produces photographs and yearbooks. The facility has qualified for the Commissioner’s Award by working more than 800,692 hours without a lost time workplace injury or illness.
