Clow Water's VPP Mentoring Program

Members of Clow Water's safety department and VPP Committee have been mentoring Chase Brass & Copper Co., located in Montpelier, Ohio this year to assist them in their quest for VPP. Since achieving VPP Star status in OSHA's Voluntary Protection Program in October 2010, members of Clow Water's VPP Committee have worked with other companies who are looking to improve their own safety programs. This recent visit was the third time the two companies have met this year, and they are planning to make a fourth visit in September. During the visits, the Clow Water team has spent time meeting with hourly and management personnel of Chase Brass to answer questions about VPP and tour the facilities to identify potential safety concerns and share best practices.

Team members Kent Arnold, Ben Doyle, and Frank Kline participated in the most recent visit. Frank Kline, Clow Water's Health & Safety Manager commented, "Chase Brass is in the early stages of their VPP pursuit, but it is exciting and rewarding to work with a company that truly wants to succeed in safety!"
