CLEVELAND, OH – OM Group announced that its electronic chemicals facility in Maple Plain, Minnesota, (the location of the printed circuit board business unit) has been named one of America's Safest Companies by EHS Today magazine.
The Maple Plain facility, built in 1994, has a safety record that was called “nothing short of exceptional” by the magazine. “Employees have worked over 12 years -- 1.5 million hours -- without a single lost-time injury, and two of those years (2006-2007) without an OSHA-recordable/restricted work activity incident.”
The facility employs approximately 60 people and supplies over 250 proprietary products for the printed circuit board and solar panel industries.
"This award is evidence that at OM Group, safety is not simply a slogan, but an enduring promise to our employees," said Joseph M. Scaminace, chairman and chief executive officer. "Our unwavering commitment to ongoing safety improvements, not only at our Maple Plain site, but around the globe, is a testament to the character, values and teamwork that our people demonstrate every day."
