Keeping a Keen Eye on Safety

In our efforts to keep safety at the forefront of the Nelson-Jameson operation, our Marshfield facility started doing monthly internal walk-around safety audits in June of 2009.  Nelson-Jameson can be a pretty busy place, with a constant flow of products, materials, and people making their way in and out of our facilities.   It is absolutely essential that we ensure the safety of our workers and facilities amidst this flurry of activity: this internal audit is a way to make sure we are keeping on track.  We’re proud to say that we have accomplished a great deal in a short time with our internal safety audits.  Back in June of 2009 we found nine items that needed correction.   Our last audit only brought up two minor issues to address.  We’re proud of all of our employees for keeping a close eye on safety issues, and for maintaining an impressive safety track record.  Their pride and dedication make Nelson-Jameson the company it is today!

 Late this August, Nelson-Jameson is hitting the road for the American Cheese Society Conference in Seattle, Washington.  The American Cheese Society (ACS) Conference and Competition is one that gathers together the specialty and artisan cheese industry.  Nelson-Jameson, from its beginning in 1947, has supplied dairies and cheese-makers of all sizes, including many farmstead and artisan cheese makers.  Because of this, we’ll be making our way to the Pacific Northwest to meet with familiar faces and new friends at “Cheese-a-topia.”

Be sure to check out information on the ACS and the Conference/Competition at: http://www.cheesesociety.org.  Numerous sessions, workshops, guest-speakers, and special events like the annual cheese competition are slated for this year’s conference.  If you are coming to Seattle, be sure to stop by our booth!  We would love to see you! We’ll have a whole host of information, new product details, and ideas on how we can efficiently help supply all of your cheese-making needs.
