The Plastics Group of America (TPG) has once again been recognized under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) On-site Consultation Program’s Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP). The program recognizes small- and medium-sized employers who operate an exemplary safety and health management system. Acceptance of a company’s worksite into SHARP from OSHA is an achievement of status that singles a company out among its business peers as a model for worksite safety and health. We are thrilled once again to have earned this award – it is a testament to our corporate commitment to the well-being of our employees that has long been the standard here at TPG. We always have been, and will continue to be, dedicated to workplace safety, and our ongoing compliance with OSHA standards reflects this attitude. In a business where machines and materials are constantly on the move in order to optimize the timely delivery of product to our customers, this is quite a noteworthy achievement.

Want to increase the efficiency levels at your plant? Then perhaps you should consider a change in where decision-makers are located in relation to the plant floor.
At the Plastics Group of America (TPG), we recently reconfigured our office spaces and moved some of our managers’ offices, creating new office space for them closer to the manufacturing floor. Moving the offices of our General Manager and Director of Technical Services has proven to be a very effective move for our company, positively impacting our corporate productivity at a number of levels. It has measurably increased communication between personnel and created what I want to call a better “awareness of what is going on” at our facility. This, in turn, has resulted in improvements to both workflow and accountability.
