What's New with the US Cargo Control Manufacturing Team?
Over the last few weeks, there has been a lot of well-deserved celebration around our manufacturing team. Not only did they get a sweet surprise on National Manufacturing Day, but they were also just recognized by the Associated Wire Rope Fabricators (AWRF) for their dedication to exceptional safety. Check out the video below to see the authentic surprise from our deserving manufacturing team.
Authentic Surprise in Manufacturing
Like many companies, manufacturing is the backbone of USCC. Without it, salesmen would have nothing to sell and the warehouse team wouldn't have products to pick. So, when we heard that National Manufacturing Day was coming up a few weeks ago, all the teams at USCC came together to show our appreciation.
Over 45 different poster and signs were created to show our appreciation for manufacturing. Everything from "You Guys Rock" to "Manufacturing is Sew Amazing." Then, on the big day, we started hanging them one-by-one in the glass windows outside the manufacturing facility.
In addition to the signs, USCC team members made about 20 different types of treats to keep our manufacturing team fueled up. From brownies and cookies to donuts and cake, it's safe to say the team was feeling pretty sweet that day. Keeping a secret from people you work with is not the easiest thing, but the genuine reactions on all their faces tell us we did alright.
USCC Manufacturing Recognized for Safety
USCC scored an LTIR safety rating of 0.00 in 2017
Just a few days after the excitement for National Manufacturing Day, our team got some more great news.
Associated Wire Rope Fabricators (AWRF) notified us that our team achieved an LTIR safety rating of 0.00/Green in 2017. LTIR stands for Lost Time Injury Rate so, just like in golf, this low score means our manufacturing team was extremely safe and efficient this past year.
This serious dedication to safety and the well-being of all our team members starts with our leadership. In this case, Chris Biechler is the man in charge of the day-to-day operations of USCC manufacturing.
Chris says his number one goal as manufacturing manager is to send his team home in equal or better health than when they arrived. From pre-work stretches to safety boots and glasses, Chris makes sure the team is ready to take on the challenges of manufacturing each and every day.
Let's Keep it Up
Without manufacturing, we wouldn't be able to provide our customers with the custom solutions they need, like American assembled tie-downs straps, tarps, lifting slings, cargo nets, and more. So keep placing your USCC orders, and our manufacturing team will keep the quality products coming.
