RR Donnelley Facility Again Achieves Voluntary Protection Program Star Status by OSHA
December 18 2014 - 6:30AM
R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company (Nasdaq:RRD)
announced today that its Crawfordsville, Indiana South Plant
facility has again been certified to Voluntary Protection Program
(VPP) Star Status by the Occupational Safety & Health
Administration (OSHA). Approval into the VPP is OSHA's official
recognition of the outstanding efforts of employers and employees
who have achieved exemplary occupational safety and health. RR
Donnelley maintains five OSHA Voluntary Protection Program Star
Status certified facilities. This recertification complements the
Indiana OSHA Voluntary Protection Program Star status achieved by
the Crawfordsville North Plant facility earlier this year.
"Among the many milestones that RR Donnelley achieved in 2014,
we regard those involving safety as the most important," said Dan
Knotts, RR Donnelley's Chief Operating Officer. "Achieving initial
certification as a VPP Star facility is demanding, but
recertification adds the extra challenge of demonstrating
continuous improvement. We are proud of our employees for rising to
the challenge once again."
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.
"Safety is regarded as the most important job at RR
Donnelley. This recertification is the result of our
employees continuing commitment to operational excellence,"
commented Michael Manzella, RR Donnelley's Senior Vice
President of Environmental, Health, Safety and Quality, & Chief
Sustainability Officer.
