Finlay Industries Inc. (Finlays), an ISO 9001-2000 standard certified company, is a storage and distribution service business that focuses on Fortune 500 companies in providing long-term parts support to their customers.

Established in 1971, the company currently employs 125 workers. Year after year, the company has grown its safety program and the results speak for themselves — as of February the company achieved over 1,500 days without a lost time accident.

Everyone is the safety professional at Finlay, including the President/CEO, senior management, middle management, and employees.

Its zero accident culture, safety training programs, safety inspections/audits, standards for housekeeping, and health risk assessments make its safety program one of the best.

Management believes a clean work environment results in a safe workplace.

Employees are encouraged to resolve safety concerns using the company’s safety guidelines. Employees take turns performing monthly safety inspections throughout the company’s facilities. These inspections and other safety related topics are reviewed at monthly employee safety meetings, which are facilitated by the Corporate Operations Manager.

Annually, as part of new employee orientations, employees and management are retrained and take a written test for comprehension on mandated safety programs.

The company pays 100 percent of its employees’ health insurance premiums if they participate in an annual health risk assessment run through its healthcare provider. Management encourages healthy eating habits by providing employees with fresh fruit choices everyday at no cost to employees.

A mandatory exercise program consists of 18 stretching exercises at the start of each employee’s shift, including the President/CEO and all management and office personnel. It also provides free flu immunizations, and reimburses both employees and their spouses $1 per day for each time they attend a fitness center of their choice. Smoking cessation, dietary and fitness educational programs are also provided to employees free of charge throughout the year.
