US: USG Corporation has been named by EHS Today as one of its 2015 America's Safest Companies. The award recognises 16 companies that have demonstrated innovative solutions to safety challenges, exhibited strong management support and employee engagement programmes and achieved injury and illness rates lower than average for their respective industries.

"We are proud to be recognised by EHS Today for our dedication to creating the safest environment possible for our 9000 employees around the world," said Brian Cook, Senior Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer at USG. "Safety is a core value of our organisation and every employee is committed to working safely; every minute, every task and every day."

USG's manufacturing facilities routinely operate at five to 20 times better than industry safety norms. Twelve of the company's 34 US manufacturing locations and three of its L&W Supply distribution facilities have applied and qualified for the Operational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Voluntary Protection Programme (VPP) Star status. To attain the Star designation, USG employees and management work with OSHA to implement safety and health programmes and processes that go beyond regulations to further protect employees and promote safe operations.

"We developed and adhere to safety guidelines that exceed industry standards and regulations," said Paul Haney, Vice President, Global Safety and Health and Employee Relations and Chief Labour Counsel at USG. "At USG, we strive to create an injury-free workplace and model safe behaviours for our families, colleagues, customers and communities."
