Last Thursday I traveled to Council Bluffs, Iowa to visit with some of the employees at the GROWMARK Lubricants plant for a story in the March/April issue of Spirit. Scott Rarig was kind enough to visit with me and give me a tour of the facility where FS, Archer, and United lubricant products are blended and packaged.
I was also impressed with the employees I visited with as I walked around. I really appreciated the time they took out of their busy shift to answer my questions and be part of the Spirit story. A big thank you to Rocky, Chuck, Ryan, and Mike for allowing me to interview you, and also to everyone else whose day I disrupted with photos!
My interviews focused on the importance of safety and various safety procedures in place around the plant. The employees at GROWMARK Lubricants have an excellent safety record and are taking advantage of a variety of training materials available through GROWMARK. As Ryan Wood so nicely summed up our conversation: "Safety's good."
One thing that stands out in my mind was how clean the facility was. One thing Scott mentioned in his interview was the housekeeping policy - at the end of each shift, every work area is responsible for a short checklist of clean-up duties. From what I observed, everyone there should be commended for a job well done!
