Building A Safer World for Andy Boy Employees
Making a commitment to creating an environment where
employees can flourish—even in a constantly changing and challenging
one—is where Andy Boy excels. For us, employee safety is a
top priority and the company’s track record proves this out.
Due to a variety of innovative incentive programs aimed at encouraging
and reducing on-the-job injuries, Andy Boy has seen a remarkable
decrease.
In the past ten years, Andy Boy has reduced injuries
by 50%, while in the same time period, increased by two times the
number of man-hours on the job.
How did we accomplish such dramatic changes? John
Snell, Andy Boy Safety Manager has spent the last dozen years creating
safety-training programs that focus on employee and supervisor training
for CPR and First Aid. Other programs are dedicated to weather-related
issues, like heatstroke training, mud safety and sun safety. Every
employee is trained in Worker Protection-developing knowledge of
pesticides and chemicals at work and at home.
Every morning certified drivers make a full inspection
of employee transport vehicles. When workers exit the bus, they
begin their own first daily safety measure—the Andy Boy Field
Warm-up Program. This breakthrough program was designed by a physical
therapist especially for the repetitive tasks typical of fieldwork.
It combines 5-7 minutes of stretches and isometric exercises to
ensure a healthful start of every day. Even in the company’s
offices, regular 5-minute breaks subdue the monotony and impact
of constant keyboarding. The results of these programs have lead
to a 50% reduction in back injuries and have earned a stellar record
from CALOSHA.
Andy Boy employees have seen their own interest and
dedication to creating a place where safety lives safe rewarded
in many ways. From exciting and highly coveted Andy Boy branded
merchandise, to their own improved well-being, Being first in safety
is a place Andy Boy is committed to holding long into the future.
