Arctech is committed to a safe work environment. Below you will find some of the ways we try to achieve safety in our workplace.

The Safety Committee promotes interaction on safety and health matters between Arctech's management/supervisors and employees. Safety is everyone's responsibility.  Everyone at Arctech is a member of the Safety Committee.

The Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC's) Premium Discount Program (PDP+) is an incentive program designed to assist employers in establishing a safer, more cost-effective workplace.  In April 2004 Arctech applied for the PDP+ and committed efforts to creating and implementing an annual plan of action (the 10-Step Plan).  Arctech passed all 10 steps of the plan in the first year (usually a two-year process).

A Drug-Free Workplace Policy establishes clear guidelines for acceptable and unacceptable employee behavior for everyone in the workplace.  Arctech is currently enrolled at Level 3 of the BWC's Drug Free Program.

Machine Specific Instructions (MSIs) identify do's and don'ts of normal safe operation as well as potential hazards to be aware of before operating equipment/machines.  Arctech's MSI process includes a schedule to develop MSIs on all equipment/machine at Arctech.  MSIs are reviewed regularly.

A certified forklift instructor is on-site to train and evaluate employees on a continuing basis.

Arctech is a member of the Springfield/Clark County Safety Council.

The TWP represents a process to minimize the impact of a work-related injury, illness, or disability on the employee's capacity to work safely and productively.  Arctech's TWP was established in 2003. 

Arctech continues to be a safe workplace. We are beginning our fifth year with no lost time accidents. Our people have kept our plant safe via their monthly inspections and watchful eye.
