Savage Services, one of the companies involved in the proposed energy terminal at the Port of Vancouver, was recognized this week by the Association of Washington Businesses (AWB) for the company’s commitment to workplace safety.
The company, along with four other businesses in Washington, was presented with a Better Workplace Award at the AWB 2015 Legislative Summit in Olympia on Tuesday, January 27.
“We’re honored to receive this award from the Association of Washington Businesses and grateful to our customers and frontline team members for their dedication to always working together safely,” said Savage Vice President and Northwest Region General Manager Jared Larrabee in a press release. “Nothing trumps safety at Savage and every person in the company has the responsibility and accountability to make sure we have a safe community and workplace, and to perform his or her job safely every time.”
Currently, Savage has more than 70 employees in the state of Washington. Approval of the Vancouver Energy terminal, a joint venture with Tesoro, would increase that number by 90 (start-up phase).
