Allied Achieves Safety Milestone...1,000,000 Man-hours Worked Without a
Lost-time Injury!
On July 22, 2009, Allied surpassed 1,000,000 (one million) hours worked without a lost-time accident/injury. This is a truly outstanding accomplishment, given the modest size of our company (40 employees) - the record spans over 15 years (1994 to 2009). This safety record is made even more substantial when considering the inherent risk of injury associated with the environments in which our team members work on a daily basis...handling hazardous materials and asbestos, working inside tanks and vessels, responding to nighttime spills and emergencies, etc. This record is testament to our dedication and diligence to workplace safety.
We attribute our outstanding safety record to our investment in safety and awareness training, constant communication, and the conscientious safe work habits practiced by our employees. Safety is not something that can be implemented part-time; a great safety record is the result of constant diligence, whether on the job or at home. We at Allied know that safe work practices are the key to a successful project and a successful company. Further, we understand the benefit that our safe work practices provides our clients. Safety is something Allied and our clients take very seriously.
To our employees: congratulations team!!! On to the next million....safely!
Allied Hosts 2008 “Safety Day” Training
On August 22, 2008, Allied hosted it’s 7th annual Safety Day training session at the South Dixie Highway headquarters in Lima, Ohio. Allied employees received awareness and safety training on several subjects including scaffold construction and use, lead awareness, fall protection and prevention, personal protective equipment (PPE), defensive driving, confined space rescue training, vac truck grounding and operation, lock-out/tag-out procedures, equipment calibration, manlift/JLG operation, and pressure washing/blasting safety procedures.
The Safety Day training session continues to be a very positive portion of Allied’s successful safety program, with local safety professionals and agency personnel participating. This year participants included safety personnel of the Husky Lima Refinery and Shawnee Township Fire Department, who selflessly donated not only their time, but valuable knowledge and experience to ensure that safety remains a top priority. Thanks to all who participated; see you again next year!
