| Better Safety Means Better
Business The "safety culture" established at Grede Foundries stems from the Company philosophy that if we take care of people, the production cost, production rate, quality, and safety will take care of themselves. The priority placed on safety can be summed up with this phrase "no job is so important and no service so urgent that we cannot take time to perform our work safely."  |

Safety Is a Human Value
|
 Since 1991, Grede's safety record
has been continually improving. With the use of a specially-designed
safety manual, specific training, attitude seminars, safety audits,
and certifications, Grede has reduced the incidence of OSHA recordable
cases by nearly 90% from 23.2 cases to 1.3 cases per 100 employees per
year. The national average for iron and steel foundries is 13.6. Although the Company's record is already far better than the industry average, Grede believes safety is a managed function and the goal is to manage the accidents out of our business. At Grede, better safety means better business! |
