# Tobyhanna division wins TYAD Safety Area of the Year award

By DLA Distribution Public Affairs

The Packing,Warehouse and Small Parcel area of Defense Logistics Agency Distribution Tobyhanna,Pa., was awarded the Tobyhanna Army Depot Safety Area of the Year Award -Tenant Activity, for fiscal year 2015 for their work in ensuring employeesafety.

The PWSP teamincludes 16 employees in 10 bays, and competed against a total of 22 tenantcommands across TYAD for the honor.

“The PWSP area supervisor, Steavon Allen, is alwaysproactive with all safety requests and inspections,” said Army Lt. Col. JohnTurner, DLA Distribution Tobyhanna’s commander. “Mr. Allen will personally correct any deficiencies on the spot, or makethe necessary arrangements to have the deficiency corrected in a timely manner.” 

The PWSP areahas not had any employee injuries resulting in lost time or missed work days inthe past two years.  The team had additionalpersonnel working with them in one warehouse for several months, and still wasable to stay incident-free.

“Mr. Allenfully supports the Safety on Point program and allows his area representativecomplete availability to attend monthly meetings, accompany the safetyspecialist on quarterly inspections, and perform monthly fire extinguisherchecks, along with weekly eyewash station checks.”
