Caraustar Industries, Inc. announced that its Recovered Fiber Group's seven recycling plants were presented with the 2006 No Actual Lost Work Day Case Award in the Recycle Collection category at the Pulp & Paper Safety Association's 64th Annual Safety & Health Conference held last month.
The award is presented to all member locations that complete a calendar year without incurring an injury that results in days away from work.
"This award is representative of our continued focus on safety in our daily operations, and is a key initiative on our business agenda," stated Greg Cottrell, VP of Caraustar's Recovered Fiber Group. "In 2006, the Caraustar Recovered Fiber Group processed and brokered approximately 2.5 million tons of recycled fiber that was kept out of landfills. For all of our collection facilities to meet the criteria for the award speaks volumes of our commitment to safety."
