1 Safety & Health Awards Program 2017 AWARD WINNERS & INDUSTRY SURVEY

2 APA SAFETY & HEALTH AWARDS 2017 On behalf of the APA Safety and Health Advisory Committee, I would like to congratulate all of the 2017 Safety and Health Award Winners. Winning mills will be presented with a plaque recognizing their achievement and will receive further recognition at APA s 2018 Annual Meeting. The APA Safety and Health Awards Program is the premier safety award program for the engineered wood industry in North America. It encourages and recognizes operational excellence with the goal of reducing injury and illness rates. While awards are limited to APA members, data from both member and non-member mills may be included. The 2017 average Weighted Incident Rate (WIR) for our industry was 8.43, an encouraging decrease over last year s WIR of The 2017 average Total Incident Rate (TIR) was 1.77, a decrease over last year s TIR of We must continue to ensure that systems and processes are in place to improve the trend. Our employees deserve close attention to their personal safety, and it is simply good business TIR WIR WIR is calculated using both the number and severity of recordable incidents (see page 5 for formula). This 2017 Industry Survey shows the WIR and TIR for all participating mills. It also shows average data for three product divisions: OSB; plywood; and structural composite lumber (SCL), laminated veneer lumber (LVL), glulam and I-joist. I have now completed the second year of a two-year term as chairman of the APA Safety and Health Advisory Committee. It is my distinct privilege to represent such a seasoned and capable group of safety professionals. Our committee is dedicated to sharing what we learn from serious incidents and best practices that will help our respective companies provide safer workplaces that better protect the health and safety of our most precious asset...our employees. If there is a safety need or issue that our committee can help with at your company or location, please let us know. If your company is not currently represented, we encourage you to get involved. We welcome the opportunity to broaden our committee membership. Please plan on attending our Safety Workshop to be held in conjunction with the 2018 APA Annual Meeting, which is scheduled for October in San Antonio, TX. I look forward to seeing you there.
