The APA Safety and Health Awards is the premier safety award
program for North America’s engineered wood products industry. It
recognizes operational excellence, aiming to reduce injury and
illness rates among member companies. Awards are based on the
lowest rates and severity of injuries, the greatest reductions in
injuries, innovations to reduce injuries, and the best overall
company record.
The Safest Company Award is given to the company with the best
average weighted incident rate (WIR), which is calculated based on
restricted work, lost time, fatalities, and other recordable
incidents. In 2023, the industry average WIR was 8.74, while LP
achieved an industry-leading WIR of 2.56. LP won in the category
for companies with 11 or more mills.
“At LP, safety is at the heart of everything we do,” said LP
Chair and CEO Brad Southern. “This award would not be possible
without the dedication and determination our team members show
every day, every shift, to keep themselves and each other safe.
Thank you to all our team members who made 2023 a strong year for
safety.”
In addition to the Safest Company Award, five LP mills were
individually recognized in the 2023 Safety and Health Awards:
- LP Dawson Creek: Three-Year Safety Award for Division ll
and the Incident Free Honor Society Award
- LP Hayward: Safety Improvement Award, Incident Free
Honor Society Award, and 1st place in Division ll for the Annual
Safety and Health Honor Roll
- LP Clarke County: Incident Free Honor Society Award and
2nd place in Division ll for the Annual Safety and Health Honor
Roll
- LP Jasper: Incident Free Honor Society Award
- LP Newberry: Incident Free Honor Society Award
“We take pride in our members’ hard work and dedication to
improving worker safety each year,” said APA President Mark
Tibbetts. “It’s crucial that as an industry, we advance and adopt
best practices to ensure our workplaces remain as safe as
possible.”
Since 2007, LP has consistently achieved a world-class total
incident rate, a common industry measure of recordable incidents
per 100 employees, below 1.0 every year. In 2023, LP’s total
incident rate of 0.5 surpassed its target. The company’s safety
performance has earned it more than 90 awards since 2010.
Additionally, LP has won over 30 APA awards since the program was
established in 2009, including the Equipment-Based Innovation Award
and the Jeff Wagner Process-Based Innovation Award.
