Ecomaine, formerly Regional Waste Systems, has earned the Safety and Health Award for Public Employers (SHAPE) from the Maine Department of Labor.
The award process included comprehensive safety inspections of the waste-to-energy, recycling and landfill facilities and consultations. With the award comes a one-year exemption from programmed state inspections.
“This award represents Ecomaine’s high standards and employee involvement in creating a safe workplace,” Maine Labor Commissioner Laura Fortman says.
Ecomaine is owned and operated by 21 municipalities and serves six additional communities under contract.
