Domtar's Kingsport, Tenn., USA, mill "has hit a safety performance mark unsurpassed in the history of Domtar Corp.—407 consecutive days without incurring an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recordable injury," Mill Manager Charlie Floyd reported this week. An OSHA Recordable is an injury more serious than a first aid which requires outside medical attention
Floyd said that employees of the Kingsport Mill know that they hold the key to safety and that they do their best every day to work safely and look out for each other.
The facility edged past the previous Domtar record of 406 days, held by the company's Plymouth, N.C. mill. "This is the second time in a four-year span that the Kingsport Mill has operated more than one year without a recordable injury," President and CEO John D. Williams noted.
The Kingsport Mill recorded the first full calendar year without an injury in its nearly 100 year history in 2008.
