Coors Brewing Company - Golden, Colorado
SAFE is a non-customized version of the SMP program that Coors Brewing Company has been using to track safety metrics since late 2002. Since implementation of this program, Coors’ Golden Brewery has:
- Reduced their OSHA reportable rate by over 300%.
- From 2003 to 2005, the number of Workers Compensation claims has been reduced from 135 to 86.
- Workers Compensation costs have been reduced at the Golden Brewery by over 450%. Using 2003 dollars as the basis, the estimated “real” dollars saved at the Golden Brewery during 2004-2005 is more than 4.2 million dollars. At Coors Brewing Company the cost savings is over 6.8 million dollars.
SAFE/SMP has been tested
in real world applications and when implemented
properly, is proven to be effective in decreasing
OSHA injury rates, decreasing the number of Workers
Comp claims and injury costs and more importantly
increasing worker safety.
