A big “Thank You!” to Stanley Black and Decker, Hesston, KS, for hosting the Wichita ASSP Chapter for a tour of their plant.
A great turnout of chapter members and guests toured the plant where the Hustler mowers are produced. The tour was led by Cameron Cothran, Chapter president, and Taylor Redding (past president). Participants learned about the facility’s fabrication, welding, painting, assembly, and shipping processes and the ergonomic improvements that the plant has implemented to reduce injury rates substantially over the past 10 years. Additionally, the group discussed the efforts made at the site towards continuously improving the safety culture.
