Hale Products, Inc. is proud to announce that the company has been free of workplace accidents for the past two years.
Bill Simmons, Group General Manager of IDEX Fire Suppression said, “This accomplishment is not the result of any one individual. But rather, our employee’s dedication to making our work place safe for each other. I am especially proud of the fact that we have developed an organizational culture where people at all levels of the business are empowered to challenge unsafe behavior on the spot – and regularly do so.”
“Over two years ago, we instituted a safety team to identify and correct potential safety concerns quickly.” Mr. Simmons continued, “This team is critical to our safety record as the type of equipment we manufacture such as fire truck pumps, portable pumps and engine driven trailer units – are quite heavy with many parts to assemble. While we have been able to engineer many of the hazards from the assembly process, it cannot replace the good, common sense approach our employees have taken.”
The company mandates safety training and provides all necessary personal protective equipment to its employees to insure the highest levels of safety. The employees also participate in a quarterly program that recognizes good safety habits for each department within the organization.
Moving forward, Hale will continue to look for ways to minimize work place hazards as our employees are one of the most critical parts of our business.
