Jack Bailey, Bose Corporation, June 2004
Jack Bailey was among the very first group of individuals in 1992 to become a certified TUR Planner, and for over a decade, he has been a regular instructor and advisor for the TUR Planner Course and other educational workshops. In 2002, Jack became Environmental, Safety and Risk Manager for Bose Corporation of Framingham, Masschusetts where he directs projects to reduce lead solder used in its products, and oversees the development of the company's first TUR Plan.
Previous to BOSE, Jack spent 15 years as Health and Safety Director at Acushnet Rubber in New Bedford. The company cut air emissions of methylene chloride, trichloroethylene, and Freon by more than 50 tons a year, saving over $100,000 in chemical costs alone. Through conservation, the company saved $1.75 million per year in water and sewer costs, and another $160,000 by reducing annual energy consumption by 2 million kilowatt hours. Acushnet was the second company in the United States to become ISO 14001 certified, and several of its TUR projects have been the subject of case studies by the Toxics Use Reduction Institute, the Office of Technical Assistance and the Environmental Protection Agency.
Jack was named Energy Manager of the Year in 1996 by the Association for Engineering, and has been on the Board of TUR Planner Association (TURPA) for six years and President for the last 4 years. He is also Director and former Chairman of the Massachusetts Safety Council and an adjunct faculty member at Roger Williams University.
