PPC to Honor Companies for Safety

Published: January 04, 2012

 SPRINGFIELD, MA | At the 2012 Spring Meeting: Outlook and Strategies Conference in Louisville, KY, the Paperboard Packaging Council (PPC) will honor its members for their manufacturing safety record with the presentation of its annual Safety Boxscore Awards, which are based on the cumulative number of hours worked without an OSHA recordable injury.

Possible awards include working 125,000 hrs, 250,000 hrs, and 375,000 hrs without a recordable injury. Twelve-month calendar awards will also be issued for working an entire calendar year without injury. The highlight of the ceremony will be the presentation of the Chairman’s Safety Award, which is presented to that company that finishes the year with the most hours worked without an OSHA recordable injury.

“Award winners are a testament to the professionalism, fastidiousness, and the high standards set for safety in our industry,” says PPC president Ben Markens.
