How a good workplace safety program got even better
A Pennsylvania metal parts manufacturer thought it already had an “exceptional” safety program when it reached out to a government program for assistance.
Brockway-based Phoenix Sintered Metals, LLC, a family-owned manufacturer of sintered (compacted and formed without liquefaction) metal parts, is “committed to continuous improvement,” according to the company. While researching ways to expand the company's occupational health and safety policies and procedures, Phoenix found the Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP), PA OSHA Consultation Program webpage. (The IUP Safety Sciences Department is the officially designated agency in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for providing no-cost occupational safety and health consultative services made available through OSHA’s On-Site Consultation Program.)
