  Safety Centers are at every Peterson location.
start speaking up, with tact and professionalism, and not shying away from an uncomfortable sit- uation, that’s when safety starts becoming a way of life.
FROM THE TOP DOWN
In 2018, Peterson was holding a two-day Brand Ambassador class at the new headquarters facility in Hillsboro, Oregon. The class got an impromptu lesson on safety via COO Jeff Goggin, one of the teacher–participants.
“We were down in one of the shop bays where we do JumpStart meetings and it was hot,” recalls Goggin. “Duane [Sr.] was taking everyone on a tour of the facility during our break so I decided to raise up the shop door just a couple feet to get some air in there. While I was doing that, I noticed a D5 outside with the blade up in the air and no blocking underneath. And I thought, That’s bad. That is just wrong. I need to be proactive and put that blade down. So I did.
TRACK forms are placed on every machine being repaired.
