HanesBrands, a leading global marketer of everyday basic apparel under world-class brands, has announced that its Cleveland Distribution Centre in Kings Mountain, North Carolina has been awarded for achieving 2 million employee hours without injury in 2016.
Cherie Berry, Labor Commissioner, North Carolina visited the distribution centre to present the certificate to Joel Long, Director of Distribution for HanesBrands. The NCDOL Million-Hour Safety Awards are given to facilities that accumulate 1 million or more employee hours with no cases of injury or illness that involve days away from work.
“It is important that we recognize companies when they exceed expectations of safety and health in their workplace, and the HanesBrands facility in Kings Mountain has demonstrated that commitment with this recent 2 million-man-hours award,” the Commissioner said.

Achieving 2 million safe hours is a reflection of the strong teamwork and focus of everyone who works here.”
