 2. Gemini Inc.’s Work with Minnesota Consultation Leads to Improved Workplace
    Safety and Health


GEMINI INC.’S WORK WITH MINNESOTA CONSULTATION LEADS TO IMPROVED WORKPLACE
SAFETY AND HEALTH

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Company: Gemini, Inc.

Location: Cannon Falls, Minnesota



NAICS Code: 339950-Sign Manufacturing

Number of employees: 155

Gemini Inc. employees stand on their shop floor, proudly holding their SHARP
flag

Gemini Inc. is a wholesale manufacturer of made-to-order dimensional signage,
plates, plaques, and industrial protective cases. They are headquartered in
Cannon Falls, Minnesota with production facilities throughout North America.
Gemini’s culture is built on its commitment to safety. Because of this, Gemini
actively sought to partner with Minnesota OSHA Workplace Safety Consultation
(WSC) and their Minnesota Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program
(MNSHARP) in an effort to continuously improve.

MNSHARP consultants have provided expertise and another set of eyes with their
onsite visits. Their knowledge and experience have proven instrumental in
pointing out potential safety hazards and collaborating with Gemini on
solutions. The combination of in-person Consultation visits, mentoring, and
guidance received from MNSHARP consultants has helped to steadily reduce the
company’s Total Case Incident Rate (TCIR) from 2.64 in 2015 to 1.42 in 2021.
Examples of improvements resulting from the partnership with the MNSHARP program
include the elimination of pigments that increased potential hazards and the
need for additional personal protective equipment, the implementation of
spot-cooling to reduce heat stress at certain work centers, the installation of
vapor collection hoods to improve air quality, and the use of air pressure
regulators on air guns to reduce noise levels.

The site was initially approved for MNSHARP in 2009 and most recently renewed in
2021. SHARP acknowledges small and medium-sized businesses that have used OSHA
On-Site Consultation Services and operate exemplary workplace safety and health
programs. Small businesses that achieve SHARP status receive a deferral from
OSHA or State Plan programmed inspections for the period that the SHARP
designation is valid. Acceptance of a worksite into SHARP is an achievement that
identifies the employer as a model for occupational safety and health among its
business peers.

Over the years, Gemini implemented changes that resulted in a safer workplace
and improvements to employee morale, increased productivity and employee
retention, and decreased absenteeism. Reduced injuries have also equated to a
reduction in insurance and medical costs, improving company profitability.
Gemini believes in a “shared responsibility, shared results” philosophy and
demonstrated this with a profit-sharing program. This proved to be a tangible
benefit with lasting effects.

Gemini management says MNSHARP consultants have earned their trust and have
worked as partners to ensure that employees go home safely each day. Employees
also know that their employer cares about their well-being.

Companies interested in SHARP can contact their local OSHA On-Site Consultation
program to discuss details and schedule an on-site safety and health evaluation.
To locate the On-Site Consultation program nearest you, call 1-800-321-OSHA
(6742) or visit www.osha.gov/consultation.
