U.S. Aluminum Castings, Entiat, WA, reports it has achieved a 65% reduction in lost-time days since beginning a safety-incentive program in 2006. The program, organized by Peavy Performance Systems renewed recently for 2009, combines plant-wide visual devices and reminders for workers. U.S. Aluminum claims the lost-time reduction directly translated into a below-average rate of workmen’s compensation payments for 2007, 2008.
