Paul Hunt, process improvement engineer, has been selected as a finalist for the 2017 Ohio BWC Safety Innovation Award.
ICP Adhesives and Sealants recently announced that Paul Hunt, process improvement engineer, has been selected as a finalist for the 2017 Ohio BWC Safety Innovation Award. The award competition reportedly was established to encourage, recognize, and showcase innovative solutions that reduce the risk of workplace injury and illness.
Hunt’s process safety improvement design is a pneumatic valve closure designed to fill cylinders behind an enclosed Plexiglas box. This activity was previously performed manually, exposing workers to chemical releases and sprays. The pneumatic device has greatly improved the safety of the filling operation and reduced the frequency of chemical spills at the ICP Akron, Ohio, plant.
