Twelve Koppers Locations
Honored for Safety Achievements
January 13, 2003, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania — The
National Safety Council (NSC) has honored 12 operations of Koppers
Industries with its NSC Green Cross Safety Excellence Achievement
Award. Koppers Industries, headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pa., is
a globally integrated producer of carbon compounds and treated
wood products used in a variety of industries.
“We commend our employees for focusing
their attention on safe work practices,” said Randall D.
Collins, Vice President, Safety, Health & Environmental Affairs
for Koppers. “These plants have created a safety climate
where workers care about each other’s well being, and these
awards are a reflection of our company’s commitment to continuous
safety improvement.”
The NSC Excellence Achievement Award Program
recognizes companies that implement safety processes or systems.
Rather than tracking safety statistics that achieve a predetermined
target of accident-free days, the award honors efforts to build
a workplace culture and environment that focuses on safety.
