RR Donnelley's Lynchburg Facility Awarded VPP 'Star' Certification
CHICAGO, Jan. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The RR Donnelley &
Sons Company (NYSE:RRD) Lynchburg, Va., print-manufacturing
facility has been awarded Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) "Star"
certification by the Virginia Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA). RR Donnelley's Lynchburg plant is the
largest gravure printing facility in the United States to be VPP
certified, and is the fourth RR Donnelley print-manufacturing
facility to receive VPP Star certification. The others include RR
Donnelley's facility in Reno, Nev., which is the only other VPP
certified gravure printing plant, as well as facilities in Roanoke,
Va., and Senatobia, Miss. According to OSHA, VPP Star, Merit and
Star Demonstration certification promote effective worksite-based
safety and health by establishing cooperative relationships between
OSHA and facilities that have implemented a comprehensive safety
and health management system. Approval into VPP status is OSHA's
official recognition of the outstanding efforts of employers and
employees who have achieved exemplary occupational safety and
health. Star certification is the highest level of VPP
certification from OSHA. "RR Donnelley strives to continuously
improve workplace health and safety," said John Paloian, Group
President, Publishing and Retail Services. "Achieving VPP Star
status requires a committed management team, an engaged workforce
and continuous improvement. But it really comes down to a single
factor: the quality of our employees. We are very proud of our team
in Lynchburg, and of all RR Donnelley employees who understand that
protecting our employees and preserving our environment reflects
who RR Donnelley is and helps to differentiate us from the
competition." Certification to the Star Program at RR Donnelley's
Lynchburg facility was achieved, in part, as a result of injury and
illness rates that are below the national average for the gravure
industry. This high level of performance was attained and is
maintained through health and safety programs that are self-
sufficient in their ability to control workplace hazards. About RR
