At Solar Technology\u2019s recent 25th<\/sup> Anniversary party<\/a>, the Safety Committee was rewarded with a special bonus by the company for their innovative and effective Safety Program.<\/p>\n

Chris Rzonca, Safety Chairman, announced that the Experience Modifier for Workman\u2019s Compensation was dropped by 13% for 2016 \u2013 meaning that, due to its extremely low number of accidents and incidents, the company\u2019s insurance rate is among the lowest possible for a manufacturer.<\/p>\n

In addition, the Safety Program as written and implemented by the SolarTech staff has been certified by the state of Pennsylvania. In the past year, they carried out a Safety Shoe Program with 100% compliance. SolarTech paid a portion towards the cost of Red Wing<\/a> worker boots, the best-rated shoe for safety factors, for every worker in the shop. The workers got comfortable, dissipative steel-toed work boots at a deep discount. The company also bought welding helmets with powered air purifying respirators. Last year they purchased similar respirators for the paint department.<\/p>\n

SolarTech\u2019s insurance agency, Cook Maran Associates<\/a>, has recommended their Safety Program to other plants, and called it \u201cA model for what a good safety program should be.\u201d<\/p>\n

SolarTech is proud of the hard work done by these members of the Safety Committee:<\/p>\n
