The Arizona Division of Occupational Safety and Health Consultation Department Presents U-Pull-&-Pay with SHARP Designation
The Arizona Division of Occupational Safety and Health (ADOSH) has awarded U-Pull-&-Pay, in Phoenix, with its Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) award in recognition of its exemplary safety and health management systems. The company joins 27 other companies in Arizona with this distinction.
“SHARP is a voluntary consultation program that awards business organizations for going above and beyond regulated safety and health standards,” said Jessie Atencio, assistant director and consultation and training program manager. “At ADOSH, we believe that an employer who provides a workplace with high safety standards deserves to be recognized.”
To qualify for the SHARP award, ADOSH evaluates the business’ overall workplace safety and health efforts, including written programs, injury and illness rates and how integrated safety programs are with the day-to-day work environment. ADOSH conducts a full onsite workplace inspection including extensive employee interviews.
“Safety will always be the single most important element of who we are and what we do,” said Carlos Cueto, safety director at U-Pull-&-Pay. “It is in our nature to treat our employees as family and as a family we live by 4 simple values; Safety, Respect, Integrity and Excellence.”
U-Pull-&-Pay is a self-serve auto part recycler that holds over 1,000 used cars and trucks for the retail public to bring their own tools to remove needed body panels, drive train components, or other auto accessories for purchase.
