en.Wedoany.com Reported - Ag Growth International (AGI), a Canadian manufacturer of grain and fertilizer equipment, recently announced that its facility in Oak Bluff, Manitoba, has achieved three consecutive years without a lost time injury (LTI), earning the company's highest safety recognition, the "Safety Excellence Award."
A lost time injury refers to a workplace injury that results in employee absenteeism and is a key indicator for evaluating safety performance and its impact on productivity. AGI implements the AGI Safety Management System (ASMS) across its global operations, which focuses on proactive risk identification, corrective actions, and continuous improvement through leading and lagging indicators.
David Postill, Senior Vice President of AGI North America, stated that this milestone reflects the strength of the company's safety culture and the dedication of the Oak Bluff team. He noted that achieving three consecutive years without lost time injuries requires attention to detail, accountability, consistency, and a shared commitment to looking out for one another. Brian Ugrin, Plant Manager of AGI Oak Bluff, said that safety is embedded in how the plant team plans work, supports each other on site, and addresses risks before they escalate into incidents. He mentioned that employees have demonstrated strong ownership in creating a safe workplace and maintaining high standards year after year.
The Oak Bluff facility was originally established in 2000 as GJ VIS Enterprises Inc. and was acquired by AGI in 2015. Now part of AGI's global operations, the facility specializes in heavy-duty bulk material storage and high-throughput material handling equipment for the commercial fertilizer, animal feed, and grain processing sectors in Canada, the United States, and international markets.
