Dear Ultradent Colleagues,

 I would like to congratulate Dave Nuttall and his team for being honored with the Charles A Caine Workplace Safety Award. Dave, with the support of the HR department and so many employees, has done an excellent job of looking out for our best interests. This is a gorgeous example of caring humans living/emulating our core values of integrity, care, quality, innovation and hard work.

With more than 68,000 Utah workers reported job-related injuries last year. Workplace safety needs to be a top priority for Utah companies. Kicking off June as National Safety Month, Workers Compensation Fund honored 13 business that lead the way in workplace safety. Each winner was selected through a nomination process and earned the award based on their safety record, program effectiveness and their success in creating a safe workplace.

Last Thursday, Ultradent was honored with the 2009 Charles A Caine Award for Workplace Safety. Ultradent was one of 24, 000companies in Utah and neighboring states to receive this distinction. For Ultradent to achieve this distinction is commendable especially considering our relatively large size and broad and diverse vertical integration which includes departments as machining and tooling, chemical R & D, formulation, molding, etc. Effective safety practices such as an emergency response team, offering CPR and First Aid courses to employees and their families, preventive safety measures developed both in R&D and Engineering, an on-site first aid room and continued support from management contributed to this award winning safety program.

Congratulations to everyone for making a conscientious effort in keeping Ultradent a safe and productive workplace. And let’s all: KEEP IT UP!

Thank you.

Dan
