Novolex announced that it was named the inaugural “Safety Company of the Year” by the Plastics Industry Association (PIA).
The PIA also recognized Ivan Marquez, regional EHS manager for Novolex, with its first-ever “Rising Safety Professional” award.
Also, the PIA honored 15 Novolex facilities with awards for their exceptional, successful efforts to keep workers safe.
“Maintaining a safe work environment has always been our foremost priority at Novolex,’’ said Stan Bikulege, Novolex CEO and chairman. “Our 10,000 employees are committed to keeping each other safe every day on the job. Continuous improvement and commitment to safety are key to us all at Novolex. These awards are a testament to our strong culture of workplace safety.’’
To earn this award, a company must establish a safety program that serves as an example of how the organization’s culture is committed to the continuous improvement of safety.
Marquez was recognized as a safety professional with five or fewer years of experience who demonstrates exemplary leadership.
“Safety is paramount to all of us at Novolex as we work collectively to achieve a world-class safety culture," Marquez said.
“The winners of our new awards have all demonstrated exemplary commitments to the welfare of their colleagues by driving proactive and preventive safety initiatives at the forefront of their business,” said Marie Gargas, senior technical director, Regulatory Affairs, for the Plastics Industry Association. “Continuous improvement is top of mind for safety professionals, and it’s a pleasure to recognize the individuals, sites and companies that do a great job of being leaders in this space.”
