Congratulations to McWane Ductile for being recognized as a winner of OSHA's Beat the Heat National Contest!
The contest, which raised awareness of the dangers and hazards of heat exposure in the workplace, received 195 submissions and 18 winners were chosen. Submissions were judged in the following categories: Strongest Message, Most Creative, Most Innovative, Highlighting Indoor Heat Hazards, and Best Non-English Submission.
Record-breaking temperatures have challenged facilities to find creative solutions to maintain the safety of their teams. As a foundry that deals with molten iron, facility temperatures can reach 150 degrees in the summer months, emphasizing the need for quality PPE, hydration stations and onsite health professionals to maintain a healthy team. In addition to these efforts, McWane Ductile has invested in cooling stations, extra fans, hydrating and healthy snacks and education opportunities to ensure their team members have the best resources for beating the summer heat.
