"I've known Matt for about 8 years, and in that time I've been impressed by Matt's creativity, and his drive to get things done. He's also a very practical, and approachable businessman who considers your point of view. That's why we get along so well, he takes the time to listen to my concerns. I have often talked with him about his projects concerning safety issues at the workplace, and other topics that involve OSHA. It seems nothing escapes the keen eye of this safety-industry professional. Spend a few minutes with Matt, and I'm sure you'll walk away impressed. Better yet you'll be sold on his work. I totally recommend Matt as a person who you would like to do business with"

"I recently recommended Matthew Key to a very good client. It's always a risk to recommend someone but a real pleasure when all parties come out winners. Suffice it to say, Matthew is a professional and he exceeded my clients expectations in creating a new culture of safety awareness, at all levels of personnel. His years of experience pay off when safety and loss control procedures are implemented and measured against historic data. Simple accountability works to achieve multiple objectives, including but not limited to the following:
-
Fewer incidences mean fewer expensive claims to both personnel as well as the general public.
-
The cost of insurance in multiple future years is reduced. Higher retained limit and deductibles become feasible, further reducing insurance premiums
-
Good will is protected from the adverse publicity caused by injuries to guests.
-
Employee participation and group cooperation, incentivized by crafted rewards raises productivity and a culture of pride.
I will gladly recommend Matthew Key again"

"Matt single-handedly turned around K&C's safety practices by implementing key HSE practices and a more vigorous certification process in his time at the company. Without his guidance and expertise I shudder to think what may have occurred on various work-sites. Not only is Matt a great leader with vision and the ability to follow-through on making tough decisions, but he always does it with a smile and a kind word for his colleagues"

"It is my pleasure to recommend Matt Key to any organization that seeks a highly motivated individual with a deep understanding of his trade. Matt is a very senior loss control/safety professional. His experience crosses all industries and his passion for his work is quickly & easily conveyed to his clients. Matt turned several of my client's failing/nonexistent safety programs into thriving programs which not only benefited the company from a lost time & safety perspective, but created a safer work environment for their employees. Matt has the ability to connect well with everyone from the shop floor to the C-Suite. I am happy to endorse Matt to any company that sees value in safety and a goal of lowering workers compensation losses."

"When I first arrived at Maxwell, I was assigned a task to start a safety committee. Matt was the consultant we brought in to help with that process. Matt helped us establish the committee as well as perform safety audits. He went the extra mile by attending committee meetings frequently. He is an extremely personable, enjoyable person to work with. His enthusiasm is contagious. Even when I couldn't make meetings, he would make a point to drop by my desk to touch base. He knows his stuff! Matt was instrumental in helping us establish and effective safety committee and safe, healthy working environment. I really hope to be able to work with him again, which is the highest recommendation I can give someone. Anyone would be well served by having Matt involved in their safety program."

"Matt Key is a real professional. Matt was brought on as a consultant to review the over-all safety program while I was at Pacific Maintenance. Matt got right to the root of the matter. Made setting up Safety Committees easy. Helped our organization to set-up train-trainer-programs that other colleagues and myself were able to promote to make safety truly a way at PMC. The results were good to say the least. With Matthew's assistance we were able to reduce workman compensation expenses significantly. Additionally, it was not just in dollars that the programs Matthew assisted up with that were the end results. True, cost savings are important to any business. What I was proud of was that safety thinking became a way of life among everyone that worked at PMC. I would be very comfortable recommending Matt Key were appropriate."

"I am honored to have this opportunity to recommend Matt Key. We worked together at Knight & Carver Wind Group, a wind-energy firm where he was charged with improving the company's safety record. He did an amazing job of quickly turning around the company's attitude toward the importance of safety training. He put his heart and soul -- led by his years of proven expertise -- into that task. It was no longer acceptable to do nothing or hope nothing dangerous occured. Under Matt's guidance, the company instituted strict safety rules and procedures, few of which were previously in place or followed. With his firm, persuasive manner, he was able to institute these changes while convincing managers and workers that he was thinking of their safety first. Matt is a pro in every regard who's written several books on industrial safety. In addition to his professional skills, he's a truly likable fellow who was well-respected among his peers. I give Matt Key my highest recommendation"

"Matt was hired to develop and establish a Safety Program for a JV between two strongly entrenched cultures. Matt extracted the best of practices from within each organization, blended these with industrially recognized practices, and then created a corporate safety culture that was management supported yet employee driven. His services came in the form of manuals, videos, training, coaching, and a liaison to outside resources. Thanks to Matt for pointing the Safety Program in the right direction."

"Matthew and I have known each other for years. He is very detail oriented and is very good in his craft. He has knowledge of safety that spans over thirty years. He has brought many companies who were looking at closing theirs door due to poor safety procedures, back to operational status. He is an asset to any corporation large or small. His interpersonal skills are a key asset to his success. He is goal driven and very concerned about the safety of anyone who is employed at the various corporations. Matthew has shown that he can stand head and shoulders with anyone who advocates or teach safety. I will give him my strongest recommendation, he is not only my friend but I respect his work and his work ethics. In our growing economy, many companies are cutting corners to make budget cuts and safety seem to be put on the back burner. If we are to survive in this country we must keep our people safe. Matthew Key is the man for the job."

"His accomplishment as a profession in the area of safety training speaks for itself. To be able to take the EMR of 2.12% to .91 within a very short period of time at the Knight and Carver facility is remarkable. Output at the plant improved, so has employee morale. Matt provided support to a video production we prepared that outlined the economic impact of the wind industry to rural places. He is a strong contributor to the team effort."
