                         Tuesday, July 30, 2013

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor SRC 
Electrical on their induction into the Occupational Safety and Health 
Administration (OSHA) Voluntary Protection Program (VPP).
  Founded in 1991 under the Springfield Remanufacturing Company 
umbrella, SRC Electrical has been a market leader in providing

new and remanufactured rotating electrical components that include 
starters, alternators, and generators. For over twenty years, SRC 
Electrical has remained an employee-owned company based on the desire 
to redefine the art of remanufacturing and operates under Founder, 
President, and CEO Jack Stack's world-renowned open-book management 
business philosophy.
  Through hard work and dedication, SRC Electrical was awarded its 
Voluntary Protection Program approval in April 2013. SRC Electrical 
should be extremely proud of this achievement as worksites under the 
VPP boast some very impressive statistics. Working cooperatively 
between management, labor, and OSHA, companies under VPP work to 
prevent and reduce the chances of worksite fatalities, injuries, and 
illnesses through a rigorous onsite evaluation by a team of safety and 
health professionals. In fact, companies included in the program have 
an average Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred (DART) case rate 52 
percent below the industry average. As of July 1, 2013, SRC Electrical 
reached 1.2 million safe hours without a lost time incident.
  Our nation needs strong and robust manufacturing companies like SRC 
Electrical. The hard working men and women who make up SRC Electrical 
are the backbone of our nation's manufacturing sector. I am honored to 
recognize SRC Electrical on its outstanding achievement and look 
forward to following its continued success.
