McCullough Industries – Kenton, OH: Mark Stephens

When we identify a potential safety risk, sometimes all we need is a simple solution.

Forming a part on the brake press creates a potential pinch point. To reduce the risk to operators when working with small parts, McCullough’s Mark Stephens, Machine Operator, made a jig (or table) that provides an area for small parts to rest on during the form process. Using the jig also clears the operator’s hand from the potential pinch point during operation.

Lesson Learned:

When we identify a potential safety risk, sometimes all we need is a simple solution. In McCullough’s case, the solution to this safety problem was literally at their fingertips.
