Greater Shepparton's own Campbell's Soup Australia has won the first "Soft Tissue Centre Gold Star Award" for employee health and wellness, having zero Lost Time Injuries for each of the past three years (no productive work time lost due to injury).
The Campbell's Soup Australia site at Lemnos had:
* Zero Lost Time Injuries for each of the past three years (no productive work time lost due to injury),
* Just one reported injury for each of the past two years.
The STC Silver Award went to Greater Shepparton City Council and Bronze to CGT Ballarat Gold Mine.
Greater Shepparton City Council had just three WorkCover claims in the past year, a significant drop from the past, a 40% fall in days lost due to injury and a 53% decrease in reported injuries.
STC this year introduced the first annual STC Awards to recognise outstanding achievement in workplace health and wellbeing.
STC is a health management service specialising in supporting employees in the workplace. It focuses on prevention, early intervention and innovative treatment of work-related musculoskeletal injuries.
Founder and Managing Director of the Soft Tissue Centre Dr James Murray was impresses with Campbell's results, saying zero lost time injuries for the past three years was 'an outstanding result and proof that it can be achieved.'
"Greater Shepparton City Council and CGT Ballarat Gold Mine have achieved significant reductions in WorkCover claims, injuries and time lost due to injury. They are fast becoming leaders in their field.
"There can be health, wellness and productivity in the workplace. It is achievable. Commercial success does not have to come at the expense of employee health. In fact, employee health and wellness are the key to success."
GSCC Officer Tina Pellegrino also received an individual award for setting new standards in workplace health.
