Company Overview

Colonial Mills is a RI-based textile manufacturer known for its high-quality braided rugs. With a strong commitment to craftsmanship and innovation, the company has been a leader in its industry for decades.

The Challenge

Employees were at risk due to improper handling, storage, and maintenance of scissors, impacting both safety and productivity. Colonial Mills needed a structured approach to reduce these injuries and create a safer work environment.

The Safety Solution

Beacon Mutual worked closely with Colonial Mills, providing ongoing communication, feedback, and expert guidance on scissor safety. Through targeted training sessions, best practices for handling and storing scissors, and proactive safety measures, Colonial Mills successfully implemented new protocols.
