Morris Industries has announced Yorkton's Howard Jones as the recipient of WorkSafe Saskatchewan, 2010 Safe Worker Award.
The award recognizes an individual who has shown an exemplary commitment to workplace health and safety.
Casey Davis, president and chief executive officer of Morris says, Jones has been very active in the Morris Continuous Improvement (MCI) program, implemented the fall of 2009.
