Superior Linen Service's journey began with a clear goal: to prioritize workplace safety and protect their employees. While they worked toward Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) status, they partnered with Oklahoma Department of Labor (ODOL's) OSHA Consultation Services to identify areas for improvement and implement best practices for safety management.

Superior Linen Service's dedication to safety yielded impressive results, with safety metrics far exceeding industry standards:

• In 2021, their Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred (DART) rate was 0.88, 79.05% lower than the industry average of 4.2.
• Total Incident Rate (TIR) was 4.4, 20% below the industry standard of 5.5.

By 2023, the company improved these numbers even further:

• DART rate dropped to 0.71, 77.81% lower than the industry benchmark of 3.2.
• TIR fell to 0.71, 82.25% below the industry average of 4.0.

These results reflect the company's commitment to safety and the positive impact of working with ODOL's consultants to strengthen their safety management systems.

Superior Linen Service received SHARP status in December 2024. Through their partnership with the ODOL and years of proactive safety improvements, they have built a safety culture that consistently outperforms industry standards.

The Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) acknowledges small and medium-sized businesses that have used OSHA On-Site Consultation Program services and operate exemplary workplace safety and health programs.
