The SHARP Award recognizes small employers who operate an exemplary safety and health management system. Acceptance of KIHOMAC into SHARP from OSHA is an achievement of status that singles out KIHOMAC among its business peers as a perfect model for worksite safety and health. CEO and Owner of KIHOMAC, Mr. Ki Ho Kang, first established a company goal of meeting the OSHA standards, but it was soon evident to Mr. Kang that KIHOMAC would not settle for just meeting the standard, but would soon set a new goal of exceeding the standards through the SHARP. Mr. Kang said, “It was the support and hard work of every KIHOMAC employee and manager that made winning this award possible.” The Director of the Prototype, Engineering, and Fabrication Center, Mr. Chris Burton, has stressed to each employee that being proactive in terms of safety leads to fewer injuries and will posture the company to run more smoothly, and in the long run everyone benefits. Mr. Ki Ho Kang expects the SHARP will exponentially increase the amount of available resources in the future by facilitating increased production, higher employee morale, and providing a top notch facility.
