Matt Hare serves as the Vice President of Environmental Health and Safety at Hit Promotional Products, a commercial printing company that creates items for many major Fortune 500 companies.

Matt was in school to become a firefighter when he took a job at Hit Promotional Products to make ends meet — now, he’s spent 10 years with the company. While Matt handles all of the domestic facilities’ responses to the necessary governing bodies as the VP of Safety, he remains a volunteer firefighter and is an EMT as well.

On this episode of the No Accident podcast presented by TRUCE, Matt breaks down the value and necessity of safety in the workplace. In his words, “It is a true sales advantage for us because we dedicate a lot of time and resources to making sure our employees are happy at work and that they go home to their families the same way they come in.”
