The Case Farms poultry processing plant in Morganton has passed a significant workplace safety milestone, recording more than one million hours without a lost-time accident. The figure is measured under Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards and marks the second Case Farms facility to reach this point in 2025.
The company has credited the achievement to a mix of safety training, facility improvements, and employee engagement programs. In recent years, the Morganton plant has undergone upgrades aimed at reducing hazards and reinforcing workplace protections.
Industry observers note that reaching one million hours without a lost-time accident is a notable accomplishment in poultry processing, where the work is physically demanding and carries inherent risks. The milestone reflects both management and employee participation in safety practices, a factor Case Farms emphasizes as key to maintaining consistent performance.
With the Morganton facility now added to the list, the company points to the milestone as evidence of progress in its broader safety culture across operations.
