2021 Manufacturing Awards Winners: Excellence in Safety

The latest series of SVAM's Made in SWVA podcast features winners of the 2021 Manufacturing Awards presented at our last Manufacturing Awards Banquet. Each year, SVAM hosts a Banquet to recognize the significant contributions of manufacturing to our community. SVAM awards manufacturers who have gone above and beyond to better our community in various ways. This episode will feature the winner of SVAM’s Excellence in Safety Award. We provide this award as a way to try to change the perception that manufacturing is an unsafe working environment. Tadano Mantis Corporation was chosen as the winner of this year’s Excellence in Safety Award based on the exceptional ways their company employs a culture of safety and sees results. For today’s episode, Sean Blackwell, Continuous Improvement Supervisor/Environmental Health and Safety Supervisor at Tadano Mantis Corporation joins us and talks to us about his job, his company, and the reasons for which they were recognized.
