Dan Granger

Dan Granger, President of SLEEGERS Engineered Products Inc., is honoured for his outstanding leadership in enhancing workplace safety through innovative programs and initiatives.

SLEEGERS operates in an environment where noise levels can pose significant health risks to employees. In response to this challenge, Dan spearheaded comprehensive health and safety measures that have significantly protected employee hearing. Under Dan’s guidance, SLEEGERS conducts third-party noise assessments. The last assessment was conducted a few years ago when new equipment and machinery were purchased, which led to a noise increase. To provide employees with optimal protection, they implemented an enhanced Hearing Conservation Program that introduced custom-moulded hearing protectors without compromising communication.

The positive impact of this initiative is evident in the increased compliance rate among employees. The program incorporates engineered controls, educational sessions, and regular audiometric testing, resulting in a notable reduction in health and safety infractions related to hearing protection.

Dan Grangers’ dedication to employee safety exemplifies SLEEGERS’ commitment to fostering a safe and healthy workplace. His leadership and vision have set a new standard for health and safety excellence within the propane industry.
