The Milliken & Company approach to the health and safety of its associates can be described in one word – relentless. They simply never stop improving their safety process.

A manufacturer of more than 38,000 textile and chemical products, and a 60-plus-year Liberty Mutual customer, Milliken has consistently reduced its Total Incident Rate and today is ten times better than the textile industry average, one of the safest industries in the U.S.

"Milliken's vision," according to Health and Safety Director Wayne Punch, "has two basic cornerstones. One, we will develop an uncompromising safety and health environment. And two, we have the basic belief that all incidents can and will be prevented."

"As part of our Architecture of Safety Excellence model," said Larry Trotter, Liberty Mutual service director (on right in photo with Wayne Punch), "we've launched our Performance Leadership process at Milliken, which seeks to change employee behaviors that lead to workplace incidents. This process involves all Milliken associates and the commitment of management, which Milliken understands and provides."
