Corrugated Industry Recognizes 442 Plants for Safety Achievements in 2018
April 10, 2019The Fibre Box Association (FBA) and
AICC – The Independent Packaging Association will recognize 442 corrugated
industry plants for safety achievements in 2018. This year had the highest
number of participating plants (733) to date.
Safety Awards are given based on data compiled for the recently released 2018 Corrugated Container Industry Annual Report of
Occupational Injuries and Illnesses.
For the calendar year 2018, the associations will present 157 Perfect Plant
Awards to plants achieving zero incidents. An additional 285 facilities
will receive Safety Excellence Awards for achieving no lost work days due to
job-related injury or illness.
The report provides detailed data for more than 169 million hours worked at 733
participating plants. It also includes trend information presented in
graphs for recordable cases, restricted duty cases, and days away from
work. Award winners are presented as a percentage of total plant
participation and the Safety Award Winners page serves as a great summary of
achievement including a count of winners by category, number of Perfect Plant
Awards, number of Safety Excellence Awards, total awards given, and the
percentage of plants awarded.
Participation in the report was voluntary and open to all corrugator or sheet
plant facilities manufacturing corrugated products. Participants can view
the full report on either of the association’s websites, www.fibrebox.org or www.aiccbox.org. For more
