Manac Trailers USA, Inc., today announced it has been honored with the 2016 Plant Safety Award from the Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association (TTMA). In addition the Oran, Missouri facility reached a milestone of over a half-million hours without a lost time accident.

“We’re thrilled to be recognized by TTMA once again for exemplary safety performance. Safety is our number one value and priority at Manac Trailers USA, Inc., and this recognition is a testament to the operational excellence our company and employees delivers every day,” said Barry DeRousse, Vice President of Operations. “I congratulate our entire team for a job well done.”

This is the 3rd year Manac Trailers USA, Inc., has been awarded a plant safety award from TTMA. The awards were presented to Charles Dutil, President of Manac on April 26th during TTMA’s 75th Annual Convention in Amelia Island, FL.

Award determinations are based on direct comparison of injury data from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Annual Summary Form 300A, the same data used by the National Safety Council and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Awards are given to tank and trailer manufacturers based on the number of man-hours worked. The company operations won in Category C for plants that reported under 300,000 man-hours.

This year marks the 46th presentation of TTMA’s Plant Safety Awards. TTMA is a member-based organization established to build confidence between manufacturers of truck trailers, cargo tanks, intermodal containers and their suppliers to bring about a mutual understanding of the problems confronting all manufacturers.
