2021 Safety Review by Karen Yardley, Safety & Sanitation Manager We strive to make human safety a priority each and every day but thought the start of a new year here at Crest was a good time to review and celebrate some of the accomplishments from the past year! • Implemented new fall protection system at the Mix Facility • Acquired new hearing protection for employees who use radios to communicate • Added spill kits to dock areas at the Warehouse • Updated our phone system for compatibility with 9-1-1 system • Had a little fun with our SLIP, TRIP and FALL campaign when we focused on hazards both inside and outside our facilities this past winter! • Finally modified the mezzanine for Dump Area 35 – 37 and eliminated employee and food safety hazards! • Upgraded equipment like Bartelts, Vertical and Horizontal cartoners (or replaced them completely – good rid - dance Line 32 cartoner!) • Added “low profile” scissor lifts to Line 70! • Added automation to many lines! • Added a physical wall in the 3rd Warehouse Equipment Maintenance Area to protect people working in this area from falling product and product in this area from people working on equipment! These were just some of the bigger projects that probably required both a capital ($) and labor investment on the part of Crest but we’d also like to recognize the employees who have a big impact on employee safety on any given day when they call out even the smallest hazard or risk and we are able to correct it or remove it! Keep it up!
