SHARP Performance at Ideal Jacobs, Corp.
 Andrew Jacobs, third generation president of Ideal Jacobs,
Corp. set out to prove, to his employees and government that in the highly
hazardous printing industry, the Ideal Jacobs system for safety and health
is indeed exceptional. For Jacobs, achieving SHARP status was a way of quantifying
their efforts and showing that OSHA and small business can successfully
partner.
Using employee incentives tied to raises, bonus, and other personnel systems,
the Ideal Jacobs safety culture is well-rooted, well communicated, and strongly
supported throughout the company â- staring with Mr. Jacobs himself. One safety
innovation involves the presentation of $50 Good Idea awards for any accepted
idea concerning safety, health or environmental benefits to the company. "As
president, I am committed to all aspects of our system and we will continue to
promote better and tighter controls companywide" says Andrew Jacobs.
Jacobs experienced its first Consultation visit in May 2002 â- he has since become
a true ambassador for the program. After 83 years in business, the company is
still driven by its systems which have been created, modified, implemented, redefined
and re-implemented throughout its history and through SHARP will continue to
stand among the industry"s most Ideal companies.
