Diamond Envelope Corporation is a family-operated business located in Aurora, Illinois. In 2015, the company started working towards Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) status by having annual visits from Illinois On-Site Consultation.

The partnership with Consultation resulted in successes such as:

• Adopting flexible scheduling and investments in safety technologies to integrate safety into daily operations.
• Encouraging team members to report hazards, ask questions and suggest improvements to foster a collaborative approach to safety.
• Enforcing strict policies, including a zero-tolerance rule for working alone in the Maintenance Department.
• Reinforcing that safety would not be compromised, even in difficult decisions.

Diamond Envelope Corporation achieved SHARP status in 2024.

SHARP status brought measurable improvements:

• Injury and illness rates dropped from 10.0 to 0.0 (Days Away, Restricted Time (DART) and Total Recordable (TRC)).
• Experience Mod rate improved to an average of 0.81 (down from 0.935).
• Increased employee engagement and ownership in safety.

Achieving SHARP status has reinforced Diamond Envelope's core values and proven that a strong safety culture is achievable and sustainable. The journey that began years before remains an evolving mission. Their success stands as a model for other manufacturers. Pursuing "safety isn't just good business; it's the right thing to do."

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.
