Graphic Packaging International Awarded Safety Prize

SPRINGFIELD, MA—December 18, 2013—Graphic Packaging International, a member of the Paperboard Packaging Council (PPC), recently earned PPC’s revered “One Million Hour” safety award at its Elk Grove, IL, plant for logging one million consecutive injury-free hours.

Recording their last incident in April 2012 and averaging about 50,000 work hours per month, achieving this safety target is especially impressive at such a high-volume and fast-paced plant. To maintain safe working conditions on the shop floor, staff members must be vigilant while completing their tasks as well as remain aware of those around them.
