Foundry Celebrates Safety Award...

There are so many good companies and plants in our industry whose safety record needs to be acknowledged. Here is a story of such a company:

The State of Oklahoma in the United States has recognized T&L Foundry Inc. with a SHARP Commendation. 

The Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) recognizes employers who operate exemplary safety and health programs at their worksites that result in the immediate and long-term prevention of job related injuries and illnesses.

"Sharp has given our employees something to be proud of," T&L Foundry owner said. "It has also helped to significantly reduce our workers compensation costs, putting more to the bottom line. Our managers and supervisors have put the upmost emphasis on safety throughout the facility and are major contributors and enforcers of our safety committee's efforts." This is T&L Foundry's second consecutive two-year SHARP certification. 

T&L is an ISO 9001-2008 certified aluminum metalcasting facility. The company manufacturers nonferrous casting ranging from a few ounces to 1,000 pounds. Recently, T&L expanded its facility by 13,000 square feet and purchased additional equipment to meet the ongoing need of its customers.

It's rather exciting to see a company like T & L commit so much time and effort into their safety and health program." Oklahoma Labor Commissioner said. "Sharp is a rigorous program and takes commitment from both the employees and management. T & L has proven that safety comes first."

Congratulations to T & L Foundry.
