Quarterly Safety Recognition Winner Announced

Antlers-based Travel Plaza Manager Brittni Slaughter is the quarterly associate safety recognition winner of the CNO Occupational Safety and Health (CNOSH). Brittni was recognized for relocating the propane cage away from an emergency exit door. This task involved several entities and the installation of new exterior outlets to provide power to the bagged ice freezer, which also had to be relocated.

Brittni’s name was randomly chosen from the list of 40 associates spotlighted for good safety performance. Throughout each quarter, CNOSH team members look to highlight good safety performance by associates. When an associate is seen carrying out a safe act in a great way or delivering exceptional safety performance, the associate is presented with a specially designed shirt, towel, or mug featuring the message: “Making Today Safer for Our Choctaw Future.” One of these associates is then chosen as the quarterly recognition winner.

Some of the actions that resulted in safety recognition this quarter for associates included:

• Associate developed a site-specific bomb threat evacuation plan.
• Associate ensured all associates at all three casino properties took shelter during the tornado. She also communicated with CNOSH when sites returned to normal operation.
• Associate notified CNOSH of three separate hazards that were recognized following a safety training.
• Associate utilized her resources to improve the safety for both associates as well as seniors within her facilities.

“Our CNOSH team looks forward each quarter to rewarding and acknowledging exceptional safety performance and, in turn, highlighting the essential role that safe work plays in our workplace every moment of every day,” says Crystal Battles, safety director, Occupational Safety and Health. “Seeing the list of safe-work actions recognized each quarter is a great reminder that all of us (no matter what our job title is) have a key role in carrying out the organization’s commitment to a safe workplace.”
