RR Donnelley Facility Recommended for OSHA's VPP Star Status Certification
August 27 2013 - 5:30AM
R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company (Nasdaq:RRD)
announced today that its Crawfordsville, Indiana North Plant
location has been recommended for certification to Voluntary
Protection Program (VPP) Star Status by the Occupational Safety
& Health Administration (OSHA), which reflects excellence in
occupational safety and health management systems. This
certification would represent the fifth VPP Star Status
certification for RR Donnelley and complements the Star Status
certification achieved by the Crawfordsville South Plant in 2011.
"Safety is the most important measure of operational
excellence," said Dan Knotts, RR Donnelley's Chief Operating
Officer. "Our written safety programs serve as a foundation for a
safe work place, but it is exceptional management commitment,
strong employee engagement, and the individual ownership of safety
as a core value that produces such outstanding results."
Star certification is the highest certification level granted by
OSHA and is awarded only after organizations complete an
application process and undergo a rigorous onsite evaluation
conducted by a team of health and safety professionals. These VPP
certifications signify the implementation of effective health and
safety management systems and injury and illness rates below
national Bureau of Labor Statistics averages for the printing
industry.
Michael Manzella, RR Donnelley's Senior Vice President of
Environmental, Health, Safety & Quality added, "This
recommendation demonstrates exceptional teamwork, innovation and
attention to detail. We are proud of our employees' safety record
worldwide and especially pleased that our team in Crawfordsville
has been recognized with this important distinction."
RR Donnelley's Global Social Responsibility Report provides a
detailed overview of the company's safety performance.
