Last week, Kentucky Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) officials presented Zappos.com with SHARP (Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program) Certification from the US Department of Labor. Zappos became the 10th active SHARP’s company in Kentucky to attain the certification. The certification is good for two years, and then, can be renewed.

Zappos underwent a thorough assessment by Kentucky OSH consultants, in order to receive the SHARP certification. The assessment included ensuring that Zappos injury and illness rates fell below the national average, as well as Zappos exceeding OSHA standards for workplace health and safety.

“Zappos.com takes great pride in providing a safe and healthy work environment for our employees,” stated Leah Morris, Safety and Risk Manager at Zappos.com. “Achieving the SHARP Certification acknowledges the dedication and commitment we have implemented in our constant quest to strive towards excellence.”

Congratulations to all the Zappos employees at the Kentucky Fulfillment Center for all their hard work in making this happen. HOOPLA!
