We are currently working heavily on the OpX Safety Fatality Serious / Injury Reduction Program with Pete Susca at our Shelby, Ohio USA plant and have seen some great results. Listed below are some of the benefits we are seeing from the work Pete has done for us:

1. Improved union/management relations
2. Helped us know what our employees feel about us though climate survey
3. Our front line supervisors are better trained (by Pete) to handle safety related issues
4. We now have a joint union/management training program dealing with employee behaviors
5. We are aggressively eliminating unsafe conditions and acts that can cause serious injury
6. Shelby’s last Lost Time Injury was more than one year ago

At the end of the month we are moving this program to our Czech Republic plant in Ostrava as we recently had a serious injury and several serious near miss situations.
