Better Batter Gluten Free Flour, LLC is a woman-owned and founded producer of allergy-friendly baking mixes and flour blends. Based in Altoona, PA, they proudly serve a nationwide community of individuals with Celiac disease and severe food allergies.

Their commitment to safety took a transformative turn when they discovered the Pennsylvania OSHA On-Site Consultation Program through educational webinars hosted by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry. Recognizing the value, they reached out immediately.

After the initial consultation, safety evolved from a simple checklist to a daily conversation. They:

• Established a formal Safety Committee, giving employees at all levels a voice.
• Integrated safety training into their new-hire orientation.
• Began conducting regular self-audits.
• Modernized their administrative programs by building a comprehensive Hazard Communication program.

This proactive approach empowered staff to identify risks in real time and report “near misses” before they could become injuries. Safety became a collaborative, continuous loop of hazard prevention.

In 2026, Better Batter proudly achieved SHARP status for the first time, earning their inaugural recognition. This elite achievement reinforced their reputation for operational excellence and proved that a small business can maintain a world-class environment with zero injuries—where employees are safe, valued, and empowered to protect one another.

The Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) acknowledges small and medium-sized businesses that have used OSHA On-Site Consultation Program services and operate exemplary workplace safety and health programs.
