Hudson Technologies’ On-Site Safety Program
ORMOND BEACH, Fla. (October 10, 2017) - A leading U.S. manufacturer of deep drawn metal enclosures, cases, and stampings, Hudson Technologies backs all products with a comprehensive quality assurance program. Based on a policy of constant innovation and continuous improvement, Hudson provides in-depth safety training programs for all team members, and partners with companies who prioritize safety and efficiency in all processes.
Seamless enclosures from Hudson - including cases, covers, containers, cans, and other specialty deep drawn stampings - provide the heavy-duty performance and reliability required in aerospace, automotive, aviation, electrical, batteries and power, irrigation, and other sensitive industrial applications around the world.
“We work hard to serve as a reliable, trustworthy supplier, and that’s about more than offering a high-quality product,” said Bret Schmitz, President of Hudson Technologies. “The safety training programs at our facility are designed, implemented, and managed by our in-house Safety Committee, and they serve as the foundation of our commitment to safety and quality in everything we do. To protect our team members and end users - and ensure durable, reliable products - we employ safe, efficient operations from start to finish.”
Besides endangering team members and increasing the risk of workplace injuries and death, lax safety initiatives can also put a company’s partners at risk of delays or financial loss. “If a supplier doesn’t take safety seriously, they likely don’t care for quality, either,” Schmitz added.
The safety and training initiatives in place at Hudson are extensive and varied, featuring specialized training for new hires, annual refreshers, and a full schedule of equipment and facility testing to guarantee optimal site safety. Some key program particulars include:
- Lockout-tagout (LOTO), for daily operational safety
- Active shooter awareness training
- Blood-borne pathogen training and testing
- Annual fire audits and weekly system testing
- Deep dive hazard communication training and testing
- Dedicated hearing conservation zones
- Routine fire system testing and fire safety audits
- Globally Harmonized System training (GHS) pictograms, SDS formats, labeling, signal words, and hazard and precautionary statements
- Specialized job training for confined spaces, forklifts, respirators, and more
The company holds ISO 9001:2008, ISO 13485:2003, AS9100C, and 14001:2004 certifications, and adheres to OSHA-certified safety policies. Hudson Technologies has also implemented several eco-conscious initiatives and environmentally friendly systems, and has achieved green manufacturing accreditation.
Located in Florida’s Volusia County, Hudson Technologies’ facility is a short drive from Daytona, Jacksonville, and Orlando International Airport.
