FBA Technical Committee (CONT’D FROM PAGE 10)
Participants appreciate the ability to recognize their plants’ dedication to safety. “This is very meaningful to our teams,” one award winner wrote. “Safety is our number one priority.” For the calendar year 2021, the associations will pres- ent 136 Perfect Plant Awards to plants achieving zero incidents. An additional 274 facilities will receive Safety Excellence Awards for achieving no lost workdays due to job-related injury or illness. The report provides detailed data for more than 171 million hours worked at 723 participating plants. It also in- cludes trend information presented in graphs for record- able cases, restricted duty cases, and days away from work. Award winners are presented as a percentage of to- tal plant participation and the Safety Award Winners page serves as a great summary of achievement, including a count of winners by category, number of Perfect Plant Awards, number of Safety Excellence Awards, total awards given, and the percentage of plants awarded. Participation in the report was voluntary and open to all corrugator or sheet plant facilities manufacturing corru- gated products. Participants can visit the FBA website at www.fibrebox.org to view the full report. For more information about the Safety Awards Program or the 2021 Corrugated Container Industry Annual Report of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses, contact Stefanie Dozois at sdozois@fibrebox.org.
We couldn’t do the work without the collaboration of our member companies and the dedicated members of the Technical Committee. The research done by the Com- mittee has benefited the corrugated packaging industry and put our industry back on the radar with universities and institutions looking to complete research. As we continue this push to provide valuable research for the industry, we will be creating a new Technical Sub-committee that will pre-vet technical research projects for FBA funding. A concept submission document will be available to all FBA members who have ideas on research that can benefit the industry. Reach out if you would like to see a concept submission form once it’s available. Chase Kammerer is the Technical Services Manager at FBA. Reach him at ckammerer@fibrebox.org. 410 Corrugated Plants Recognized For Safety Achievements in 2021 The Fibre Box Association (FBA) and AICC – The Indepen- dent Packaging Association, will recognize 410 corrugat- ed industry plants for safety achievements in 2021. Safety Awards are given based on data compiled for the 2021 Corrugated Container Industry Annual Report of Occupa- tional Injuries and Illnesses.
