SLC 2014: When Safety Training Isn’t Enough
The tragic death of a Cintas maintenance techician motivated the company to design a rigorous safety certification program for its maintenance personnel.
On Oct. 28, 2011, Cintas maintenance technician Kevin Burgess died while servicing an industrial dryer at a Cintas uniform-laundering facility in Louisville, Ky.
Burgess, 55, died from blunt-force trauma after the dryer unexpectedly started up and pulled him into the machine.
