MCM Safety Focus 

“Every employee should leave the workplace as healthy as they were when they arrived”

MCM's Safety Committee is designed to protect every worker and identify hazards found in the foundry. The safety committee is set up to perform OSHA style inspections that will help determine where your immediate and long term needs may arise. The foundries are on their own to make corrections. In the past the committee has consisted of safety professionals reporting to board members of the MCM. Now, we are asking for volunteers to participate from any of our member foundries. It can be a valuable experience for them to tour other foundries, and get practical safety ideas from other foundry personnel.

A typical tour results in a four hour walk around of the facility with 4-8 members who observe all foundry areas, including training, records, and OSHA logs. This is followed by an exit meeting with top management to discuss the findings (both positive and negative) by our safety team. An official, and confidential report of the findings will be provided to the member foundry afterwards.  It is important to note that MCM does not hold onto any of the information once the report is delivered to the foundry.

This service is available free of charge to all of our members on a first come first serve basis. Our goal is to assess five member foundries per year.

Safety Committee

Mike Medina, CPP Hitchcock, has been assigned as the team leader. We are asking for volunteers from all of members to be nominated as contributors. A select group will be chosen to represent the MCM on these official visits. Volunteers will be asked to attend semi-monthly meetings or audits.

Who is responsible for safety? You are!    Safety is everyone’s’ job, we all play a role.
