Two weeks ago, I wrote about Bremen Castings (www.bremencastings.com), a family-owned foundry and machine shop in Bremen, Indiana. It was on the cusp of hitting 500 days without lost-time injury. That milestone was met, so I thought some safety advice and insights from JB Brown, the company president, might be highly valuable. Here's what I found out, in Q&A format. Listen up, and take notes. He did not disappoint.

Bremen Castings, a family-owned foundry and machine shop in Bremen, Indiana, will hit 500 days without lost-time injury next week. Lost-time injury is defined as an occurrence that resulted in a fatality, permanent disability, or lost time from work of one day or shift and possibly more.
