MetalTek’s top priority is safety. Our safety culture is based on the ideas that safety is everyone’s responsibility and that all safety incidents are preventable. A recent safety milestone at MetalTek’s Carondelet Division is the latest example of MetalTek’s safety culture in action. The latest safety milestone achieved by MetalTek is 2.5 million hours worked since the last lost time safety incident at Carondelet, located just south of St. Louis. A lost time safety incident causes an employee to be unable to perform his or her job for at least one day. Carondelet’s last lost time safety incident was more than seven years ago. For any business, such a milestone is admirable. For a sand-casting facility that routinely pours liquid metal at over 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit for customers in the world’s most demanding industries, this is a remarkable achievement. But not a surprising one. Such safety milestones are not rare at Carondelet. In fact, Carondelet has gone almost 300 days without any safety incidents at all.MetalTek’s safety culture is built on the company’s core value of Choose To Be Safe and the core belief that all safety incidents are preventable.
