MAHLE Motorsport has reported that its division, comprised of 125 employees, was able to achieve a five-year manufacturing record with zero lost time accidents. This sought-after work safety achievement was met on March 14, a full 1,827 total days since the last recordable injury, and was reported by Brad Green, MAHLE Motorsport’s general manager. 

Green commented, “This is a tremendous achievement that could only occur by the diligence of our employees to stay situationally aware of their well-being and others. Manufacturing high performance pistons and rings requires the use of very technical and potentially dangerous equipment. We are very pleased with this milestone and will continue to prioritize workplace safety for this and all departments to ensure the safety of every employee.”

Injuries are tracked at MAHLE Engine Components USA Inc. by Ralph Williams, environmental health and safety coordinator at MAHLE Industries Inc. for multiple MAHLE divisions, including Assembled Camshafts, Heavy Duty Diesel, Light Vehicle Diesel, Motorsports, Logistics, Quality and Technical Services and Support. 

MAHLE Motorsport Application and Design Engineering Manager, Eric Grilliot, added, “Safety is a cornerstone of what makes us successful. We take great care to make sure there are safe practices and guidelines in place, but the record is a credit to our associates that assume the personal responsibility to improve each and every position on the floor.”
