SHARP provides incentives to high-hazard employers to develop, implement and improve workplace safety and health programs. EKAE, which started production in the summer of 2005, followed several SHARP criteria in order to be considered for the award. One criterion involved having a lost workday injury and illness rate and total recordable case rate below the national average for the ethanol industry. EKAE's rates were zero for both, according to Plant Manager Doug Sommer.
