ACCO Brands Corporation (NYSE: ABD), a world leader in branded
office products, was honored this week as one of “America’s Safest
Companies for 2011” by EHS Today magazine, a leading publication
for environmental, health and safety professionals.
“We are proud to receive this prestigious award that recognizes
our unwavering commitment to employee health and safety,” said
Chief Operating Officer Boris Elisman. “ACCO Brands has worked
tirelessly to develop and implement plans and procedures that make
our employees’ safety a top priority. This is reflected in the
outstanding safety records achieved at all of our facilities in the
U.S.”
ACCO Brands earned the award for 2011 based on significantly
lower injury rates than industry norms, sound safety planning and
proactive communication models geared toward protecting employee
health.
To be considered one of America’s Safest Companies, companies
must demonstrate support from management and employee involvement;
innovative solutions to safety challenges; injury and illness rates
lower than the average for their industries; comprehensive training
programs; evidence that prevention of incidents is the cornerstone
of the safety process; good communication about the value of
safety; and a way to substantiate the benefits of the safety
process.
This is the first time ACCO Brands will take home the EHS Today
award. In addition, the company earned the 2011 Royal Society for
the Prevention of Accidents’ “Order of Distinction Award for
Occupational Health and Safety Excellence” in the United
Kingdom.
“ACCO Brands is committed to maintaining our leadership position
in employee health and safety,” Elisman said. “We will continue to
make proactive safety planning, communication and accident
prevention a core part of our daily operations.”
