Bluegrass Supply Chain is proud to announce that it has achieved one million safety hours without a lost-time incident. This is a significant milestone for the company, which places the safety of its team members at the forefront of its operations.
The achievement of one million safety hours without a lost-time incident is a testament to the commitment of Bluegrass Supply Chain to maintaining a safe and healthy work environment. The company takes a behavior-based safety approach in all its operations. It is vital to have equipment and facility safety, but it starts with people. Bluegrass puts the topmost priority in their team members and identifying the behaviors that could lead to incidents. Through continual training and evaluation, Bluegrass strives to identify and correct unsafe behaviors to a more positive behavior.
“It has taken our entire team working together for almost seventeen (17) months to achieve this important milestone," said John Higgins, President, and CEO of Bluegrass Supply Chain. "We previously achieved this milestone in September of 2019 and look forward to celebrating another one million hours in the future."
Bluegrass Supply Chain believes that safety is not attained by the safety manager or the human resources group but is an outcome of our safety culture. One million hours demonstrates every team member cares about the safety of all individuals, teammates, and customers. Every day, each minute, and every decision made matters. “Bluegrass is a family,” said Camron Gregory, Director of Safety. “Each member is expected to look out for the members of its family to ensure we go home safely each and every day.”
To celebrate this accomplishment, Bluegrass leadership has been providing a ribeye steak sandwich and sides for lunch at all locations and banners will be displayed commemorating these two achievements. The company looks forward to continuing its focus on safety and maintaining a safe and healthy workplace for all team members and customers.
