    Northrop Grumman Corp. Electronic Systems deemed workplace safety and health star by U.S. Labor Department's OSHA - OSHA News Release
    The Norwalk plant, which includes about 100 employees represented by IUE-CWA Local 81244, was approved for three years of participation in the VPP at the star, or highest, achievement level, following an OSHA team's week-long onsite review of its safety and health management systems, interviews with employees and a complete tour of the plant.

    OSHA found that the plant's safety and health programs were consistent with the high quality expected of VPP participants, and its injury and illness rates were below the industry average. It now joins more than 2,030 worksites in 270 industries nationwide, including 19 sites in Connecticut, that have earned entry into the VPP.
