Safety & Environment

Safety

At Shape, we firmly believe that all injuries and illnesses are preventable. Our vision is to provide a workplace that is free of injuries and illnesses. Shape’s safety program is integrated throughout our organization. It is a major contributor to our business excellence, resulting in low insurance premiums and increased quality through a knowledgeable, consistent workforce. Shape’s safety program, built on a strong foundation of management commitment, is composed of four key areas:

  • Associate involvement
  • Hazard prevention and control
  • Work site analysis
  • Safety and health training

Success is measured not only by injury and illness rates and workers compensation costs, which are below published industry averages, but also through the positive feedback and continued dedication and hard work of our associates.

Lean Manufacturing

Implementing lean manufacturing at all facilities and reducing waste while increasing efficiency improves our sustainability on many levels. By making operations more efficient, we use our floor space more effectively, resulting in a smaller footprint for our facilities. As we increase our productivity and eliminate waste, we decrease our costs and remain competitive and thriving. Our ergonomic focus reduces injuries and wear on people and stabilizes work expectations.
