U.S. Metalcasting: Is Safety Really First? |
|
It has been said that workers are the most valuable asset for a metalcasting facility. How well are we protecting that asset? Although we have improved in recent years, the metalcasting industry’s record for worker safety still lags behind other manufacturing sectors. It is time for an increased awareness of safety and an enhanced effort to raise awareness of potential hazards and dangers in our plants.
On July 21 at 11:00 EST (10:00 CST) AFS replayed the 113th Metalcasting Congress' President's Session on safety. During this 60 minute webinar, attendees heard facts about our industry’s safety record, learn how safety can be planned for and controlled and hear a case study from a metalcasting facility that has achieved 2 million hours without a lost time accident. The webinar was produced in three segments, which can be found by visiting www.afsinc.org/webinars.
