PORTLAND — Pines Health Services was recognized for its workplace safety during the annual Maine Employers’ Mutual Insurance Company (MEMIC) meeting last week.

Pines was one of six MEMIC policy holders from a pool of nearly 20,000 to be presented with an award for workplace safety at the Portland Museum of Art, where the meeting was held.

“Every year we look forward to this opportunity to recognize businesses that truly stand out in the crowd,” said Assistant Vice President for Loss Control and Safety Karl Siegfried. “Today, we recognize six policyholders of MEMIC’s nearly 20,000. That makes today’s winners a truly special group.”

Based out of Caribou, Pines was honored for their workplace safety along with Knox Machine Company of Warren; Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital of St. Johnsbury, Vt.; N.S. Giles Foundation, Inc. of Bangor; Heritage Ministries Management Company of Jamestown, N.Y. and E.S. Boulos Company, Inc, of Westbrook.

A rural non-profit health clinic that employees 146 people with six different locations in Aroostook County, Pines’ revitalized safety process is praised for “keeping injured employees at work and managing their claims closely.”
