MADISON, Wis. (AP) - The Wisconsin Air National Guard's 115th Fighter Wing has earned a prestigious workplace safety award.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has given the 115th its Voluntary Protection Program Star rating. The program promotes work site safety and health. Program approval means OSHA has recognized outstanding efforts in occupational safety and health.
The 115th is the second U.S. Air Force unit to earn the award. The 148th Fighter Wing in Duluth, Minn., got it in 2008. A presentation has been set for Saturday morning at the 115th's Madison base.
