Their precision machining, sub-assembly fabrication, powder coating, and production engineering operations have a high potential to introduce safety hazards.

Bentley Heritage

Bentley Heritage is a family-owned and operated distillery in Minden, Nevada. When they graduated from their R&D facility to a full-capacity distillery, they became subject to a whole new set of OSHA standards for process safety. In addition to manufacturing operations, the distillery is a venue for tours and tastings, so safety considerations needed to extend beyond the employees to the public.

Coblaco and its subsidiaries have completed more than 500 projects in the public and private sectors, including major league sports stadiums, power generation plants, food and beverage plants, bridges, and dams. Their facilities and operations are subject to government regulations and they are often required to produce safety credentials in order to bid on large projects. 

Dohn Construction

As a general contractor, Dohn manages multiple construction projects with specialty-trade subcontractors working under their supervision. They had been working with a safety consultant, however the training materials had become dated and stale, and they questioned whether the consultant had become equally complacent in other areas. Under OSHA’s Multi-Employer Citation Policy, Dohn can also be held liable for safety violations by subcontractors. They needed a partner they could trust to keep their workers and worksites safe.

Noffsinger Manufacturing

For over 90 years, Noffsinger Manufacturing has been providing the agricultural industry with belted chains, hook chains, wire belts, rollers, and sprockets that assist with harvesting, sorting, separating, conveying, and processing crops.

LivaNova researches, manufactures, and delivers cardiovascular products that help improve the health and quality of life of more than 1 million patients in 100 countries every year. In 2007, LivaNova shut down their plastic injection molding operation and clean room at their Colorado facility so they could focus on their core competency, manufacturing Perfusion Tubing Systems (PTS). As LivaNova right-sized their business, they also needed to right-size their EHS support level. They were looking for site- and industry-specific support based on their evolving needs.
