Oil patch bits: Lynden first trucking company in AK to earn SHARP awards

Petroleum News

Lynden Transport employees earned the prestigious title of being the first trucking company in Alaska to earn a safety and health achievement recognition program award from the Alaska Department of Labor Standards and Safety. The award is part of AKOSH, a program to promote safe and healthful jobs for Alaskans while recognizing employers who operate exemplary safety and health systems. Both the Anchorage and Soldotna service centers were assessed and found to meet or exceed OSHA’s safety and health guidelines.

According to HSSE Manager Richard Hennagin, Lynden Transport has worked with the group AKOSH Consultation and Training Services for many years. “This partnership, and a strong commitment from our management and operations teams, has led to improvements in the Lynden Transport safety and health programs over the years,” he explains. “Employees in all departments have shown their commitment to improving the safety and health culture. When you consider that our people have been able to do all this in the conditions we endure - weather, traffic and a pandemic - it is truly humbling.”
