BWC created the Safety Innovation Award program to recognize innovations that result in risk reduction, cost savings, and potential application to other workplaces, industries or operations. Innovations can range from a newly-created piece of equipment, tool, process or method to an existing one that an employer has improved or uses in a new or creative way. This year’s finalists are:

• Francis Manufacturing Company (Russia) – Hapman Sand Conveyance System
• J&R Farms (Mount Vernon) – Grain Engulfment Prevention/Retrieval System
• TERYDON Inc. (Navarre) – Touch-Screen Tablet Wireless Control (a.k.a. “Lunch Box”)
• Yoder Drilling & Geothermal Inc. (Sugarcreek) – Geothermal Grouter Pipe/Loop Reel

Read summaries of the award-winning projects here. The finalists will be on hand at the Safety Innovation Awards booth at the Ohio Safety Congress & Expo 2019 (OSC19) March 6-8 in Columbus.
