12. On the rare occasions we need to access the roof at Logan’s Soap & Safety, we wanted to ensure the ladder would not be blown down by the wind.

13. Applied Safe Lifting Here at Logan’s Soap & Safety, we are a close knit family and we often eat lunch together on a picnic table outside our offices. Often two of us would move this table around to minimize wind and sun/shade. This has often lead to much grunting and straining. After discussing proper lifting techniques and back injuries during a safety meeting, Joe, one of our employees noticed that it would be better lifting technique if we always had four people lift and share the load. Now we share the load as well as our lunch!

14. After: Recently, we were able to train enough employees to have full HazMat response on all three shifts, and several back-ups. We are now equipped to handle a spill within the facility during all shifts. Hazardous Material Spill Response Teams Before: For the past several years, Logan’s Soap & Safety had one full Hazardous Material Spill Response Team, but they were all on first shift. We have been expanding our Second and Third shift operations.
