Excel Scientific is proud to announce a year of zero safety recordables for 2024.
In 2023, Excel Scientific brought safety oversight in-house under the leadership of Richard Moore, Facilities and Maintenance Coordinator, who combined his experience in the manufacturing industry with OSHA training to build an effective, personalized safety program. Before that, safety training and facility audits were handled by a third-party company.
“We are an intimate team, so every voice counts, and every safety suggestion can make a difference, whether it be padding a corner to prevent head injuries, installing guards, or salting the ground.”
– Richard Moore, Facilities and Maintenance Coordinator
The success of this program is rooted in teamwork. Excel Scientific takes pride in our close-knit culture, where every voice matters and every safety suggestion is valued. From the leadership team to every individual on the floor, safety has remained a core value that influences every decision and process at Excel Scientific.
In any industry, achieving a zero-safety incident year is no small feat. It requires commitment, vigilance, and an unwavering focus on safety protocols.
The Excel Scientific team poses in front of a banner that reads, “ZERO RECORDABLES IN 2024”.
How We Did It
Ensuring the safety of our employees requires a comprehensive approach, and at Excel Scientific, we’ve developed a multifaceted safety program that emphasizes both education and action. Here are some of the key factors that contributed to this milestone:
Proactive Safety Training
Throughout 2024, we continued to implement regular and updated safety training sessions for all employees. Whether it was new team members learning the ropes or long-time staff members refreshing their knowledge, these training initiatives ensured that safety was always top-of-mind.
Empowering Employees
We believe that safety is a collective responsibility. Every employee at Excel Scientific is empowered to speak up about potential hazards or concerns . By encouraging open communication, we’ve created an environment where everyone feels responsible for maintaining a safe workplace.
Constant Evaluation and Improvement
A key part of our safety success in 2024 was our constant evaluation of workplace procedures and environments. Our team worked tirelessly to identify areas for improvement, and by addressing these potential risks early on, we were able to prevent incidents before they occurred.
Strong Leadership Support
Our leadership team has always placed a strong emphasis on safety, not just as a metric to meet but as a core value of our company. This focus from the top down has helped ensure that all employees have access to the tools, training, and support they need to work safely.
“Richard’s contribution was vital in achieving this safety milestone. He consistently ensures all team members are updated on the company’s safety policies and procedures; he is always watchful for potential safety issues, implementing necessary measures when required.”
– Terri Partain, Manufacturing Manager
Looking Ahead
While we celebrate this achievement, we understand that the work doesn’t stop here. Safety is an ongoing journey, and we are committed to maintaining this standard in the years to come. In 2025 and beyond, we’ll continue our focus on rigorous safety practices, employee empowerment, and a culture of care that prioritizes the health and safety of everyone at Excel Scientific.
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our associates for their dedication and commitment to safety. This achievement is yours, and we look forward to reaching even greater heights together in the years to come.
