Engagement Makes a Difference at Sofidel Shelby, Paper360º January/February 2025

Back in 2022, you may not have noticed anything wrong, exactly, with the Shelby mill’s standard monthly safety meeting. The usual folks would have the usual chat about safety... and that was the problem.

“We did a lot of talking,” says Ryan Bumgardner, EHS manager. “We were identifying issues, but we did not have an opportunity as a committee to make an impact or make a change across our organization. There were no guidelines around what we should be doing; there were no expectations for committee members. People that cared about safety showed up, but it was a lot of conversation around what was wrong—not about how to make it right.”
