Allied Reliability is pleased to announce that we have been named a recipient of the Thomas M. Drury Award for Achieving a perfect incident record in a high-exposure industry for the second year in a row.  Each year, the Thomas M. Drury award for Contractor Safety is presented at the South Central Joint Mine Safety and Health Conference (MSHA) to contractors that have shown exceptional safety leadership and performance while working within operations.

Reliably Safe

As a company that sends Full Time Equivalent, part time and mentor consultants to client sites around the country it is imperative that our employees conduct their duties in the safest way possible not only to uphold the stringent safety expectations of Allied Reliability but so as to never put one of our clients in danger or compromise the safety policies of our clients.  This two- fold level of expectations could be a difficult promise to live up to. But as an company that holds our performance to the highest standards possible we expect our team to go beyond compliance to exceed safety regulations and become an example for all of their on the job colleagues as well as an on-site resource for best safety practices.

Keeping up
In order to make sure Allied Reliability Team members can act as safety benchmarks within their environment we make a point to consistently provide them with important safety tips and reminders.  As a company we share weekly ‘Safety Tool Box Talks’ with our team in the field for them to share with their team.  Each week our field technicians and analysts review a useful single point lesson that can be shared and discussed in a 5-10 minute time frame.  Each tip is centered around safety, whether it be a Tool Box Talk on ladder safety or lacerations, each week we share something new for our team to reflect on.  This type of continuous improvement and learning is what sets Allied Reliability apart from our competition and why we provide Inspired Reliability.

Tool Box Training was developed as a single point lesson tool for maintenance supervisors by Allied subject matter experts: Mike Gehloff, Ricky Smith and Dan DeWald. They are designed to be used once a week or every other week. These are created so a supervisor can cover the material in about 10-20 minutes. The objective is to transition a maintenance team to a higher awareness and competency level.  Below is the Tool Box Talk for Lubrication of Bearings:
