                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MIKE ROGERS

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 24, 2001

  Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
the TRW Chassis Systems' Fenton Plant for receiving the prestigious 
Michigan Voluntary Protection Programs (MVPP) Star Award for workplace 
safety and health excellence. They were presented with the award by the 
Michigan Department of Consumer & Industry Services on June 15, 2001 
during a ceremony at the plant.
  In receiving this award, the plant was subject to intense competition 
and a verification audit with stringent criteria that emphasizes 
management commitment, employee involvement and low accident rates. The 
Fenton plant's accident rates and lost work day rates are far below the 
Michigan average for the industry.
  Therefore Mr. Speaker, I respectfully ask my colleagues to join me in 
paying tribute to the TRW Chassis Systems' Fenton Plant for receiving 
the Michigan Voluntary Protection Programs Star Award.
