16th March, 2007: Safety Matters!
Working safely is something you can not do too much of. The Boise plant, which is doing extremely well with safety, has gone 965 days with out a lost time accident which is outstanding for a production facility.
The Bigelow company has taken many steps to help make our people and operation safe, from implementing the Dupont STOP training (a methodology that focuses on improving the conditions vs. focusing on people) to yearly plant inspections to name a couple.
The efforts in safety have been recognized by OSHA (OSHA is Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the government organization that regulates employment conditions to insure they are safe for workers) with their awarding the Boise plant the “SHARP Award”.
“Bigelow Tea has done an excellent job of safety and health management at its Boise facility,” said OSHA Regional Administrator Richard Terrill in Seattle. “The company has adopted safety as a business priority, working with employees and management towards improving their safety and health management system.”
The company, employees, and management take safety very seriously and it shows.
