“This is very exciting for the company and we want to thank current and past employees who helped achieve SHARP certification. Everyone worked very hard and we will strive to make continued improvement to ensure the safety of our employees,” said Mike Supergan, President of Teleweld, Inc.

Illinois OSHA, a division within the Illinois Department of Labor, offers free and confidential safety and health onsite consultations for employers with up to 500 employees.
