Boehmer Box achieves two healthy-workplace milestones
Boehmer Box’s last lost-time accident took place on Aug. 16, 2007, and this spring the firm surpassed 1 million hours worked without such incidences. Company executives say this milestone is especially significant considering Boehmer Box operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
“Safety is not an option in today’s workplace,” says Boehmer Box President and Chief Operating Officer Mark Caines. “Employees are our most valuable asset and the workplace must be structured in a manner that allows them to work safely and effectively. Our goal is to create an environment where continuous improvement is not just a manufacturing slogan but a way of life with respect to our processes, working conditions and overall plant safety.”
