ACCO Brands (NYSE: ACCO), a world leader in branded consumer and
end user products, was named one of America’s Safest Companies in
2023 by EHS Today. The magazine for environment, health, and safety
leaders, announced its list of the 2023 America’s Safest Companies
last month with 10 companies on the list. These companies are
involved in a broad range of activities, from industrial
contracting to robotics, from packaging to cabinetry, from consumer
packaged goods to electrical construction, and more.
ACCO Brands was among the outstanding companies being honored
because of a committed understanding of the value that safety
brings to an organization. This is the third time that ACCO Brands
has been awarded this title, something only six other companies
have achieved.
For more than 20 years, the America’s Safest Companies
competition has sought to identify those characteristics that
differentiate good safety programs from great ones, and to then
celebrate the best practices and procedures that exemplify safety
excellence.
“Every America’s Safest Company winner is a standard-bearer of
safety excellence. Each winning company has engrained into their
culture and their employees a consistent and constant need to keep
every person and every situation free from harm,” said EHS Today
Editor-in-Chief Dave Blanchard.
To be considered as one of America’s Safest Companies,
organizations must complete an application that requires them to
demonstrate excellence in several areas: support from leadership
and management for EHS efforts; employee involvement in the EHS
process; innovative solutions to safety challenges; injury and
illness rates lower than the average for their industries;
comprehensive training programs; evidence that prevention of
incidents is the cornerstone of the safety process; good
communication about the value of safety; and a way to substantiate
the benefits of the safety process.
As a company with a personal stake in all things ergonomic, ACCO
Brands understands the discomfort of aches and pains. That is why
the company provides on-site massages using the certified active
release technique (ART) to all U.S. manufacturing and distribution
center employees—regardless of whether those aches and pains are
job-related or not.
“While there is a significant cost to providing the ART benefit
to our employees, we believe we have prevented many minor employee
issues from becoming more serious medical issues and have a
healthier workforce as a result of this program,” says James
Edwards, senior director of environmental, health and safety, ACCO
Brands.
The best practices from the 2023 America’s Safest Companies are
featured in a special section in the July/August 2023 issue of EHS
Today magazine and on the brand’s website, www.ehstoday.com. Since
2002, America’s Safest Companies has honored more than 250
organizations for their unwavering commitment to worker safety,
health, and environmental stewardship.
