Two Years Injury Free!
Today, Sew What? celebrated an incredible feat – two years (730 days) injury free! What do I mean by “injury free”? I mean that there have been no workplace injuries at Sew What? in two years.
This really is an amazing accomplishment. Most traditional offices don’t think too much about workplace injury – there just isn’t very much likelihood for injury. It’s different at a manufacturing company like Sew What? Our sewing and warehouse staff work with a variety of machines (sewing machines, grommet machines, forklifts, large format digital printers, etc.), and even the slightest distraction on the part of the staff member could result in an injury. Many of our custom stage drapes are large and heavy and unwieldy. So to go two years without an injury is a tremendous accomplishment.
We are so proud of our staff for their diligence in working safely. Every 90 days, we celebrate by providing a catered lunch to all of our staff, and on the large milestones, we take the celebration up a notch. This time, in addition to a delicious catered lunch, we brought in a mariachi band to entertain.
The mariachi band was a hit! Many of our staff are Latino/Latina, and so they had a great time singing along. The rest of us simply enjoyed the music (and even some dancing!).
I want to send a big Felicidades (Congratulations) to the entire Sew What? family – we truly appreciate your dedication to safety!
