On this episode, I am pleased to talk with Andrew Pokelwaldt. Andrew is the Director of Certification for the American Composites Manufacturers Association.
Andrew has 28 years of experience in leadership, training, and operations. In his current role at ACMA he develops, delivers and directs the composites technical fabrication training and certifications industry-wide.
His composites experience includes manufacturing management, training, process, and personnel training roles in various composite industry areas over the past 10 years. Andrew worked as a dual career military reservist for 24 years including service in Operation Iraqi Freedom leading foreign military training and operations.
On today’s show, we’ll be discussing some safety practices in your plant as it relates to Cast Polymer Manufacturing. We’ll talk about daily implementation and safety improvements that will improve your bottom line, reduce waste, and benefit your workers.
Andrew will also be talking about the ACMA’s Certified Composites Technician (CCT) program. It supports professional development and facilitates uniform training and technical skills for cast polymer manufacturers.
Also, during this episode, I mention the ICPA Safe Plant Program. It is based on the OSHA Safe + Sound Campaign and includes management leadership, worker participation, and a systematic process for finding and fixing hazards. As a partner in the Safe + Sound Campaign, ICPA’s SAFE PLANT will provide a comprehensive program with access to tools and resources, including live webinars, to help develop or improve safety and health programs in participating member plants.
