Safety at Smurfit-Stone is about people
Smurfit-Stone has led the industry in safety performance every year since 2001, outperforming all the major integrated companies in the pulp and paper industry based on annual statistics compiled by the Pulp & Paper Safety Association (PPSA) and the American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA). In 2007, our mill in Hodge, LA, became the first mill in Smurfit-Stone history to work two million hours without a recordable injury. And, our Hopewell, VA, mill celebrated working one million hours without a recordable injury. Only seven paper mills have ever achieved one million hours worked without a recordable accident as defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and five of them are Smurfit-Stone mills. Smurfit-Stone offers safety training for key managers, an in-house SAFE leadership training program for line supervisors, and a host of additional data analyses and employee development processes to encourage safe practices as we move toward our ultimate goal of an accident-free workplace.
Our people are our greatest asset, and we are committed to protecting their health and well-being. Our SAFE process focuses on five core beliefs:
1. All injuries are preventable.
2. Safety is everyone’s responsibility.
3. Working safely is a condition of employment.
4. Training employees to work safely is essential.
5. Safety is good business.
