Safety

Smurfit-MBI has always believed that safety in the workplace is important. The methods used were the standard safety programs and activities practiced in the industry: ensuring that regulatory requirements were met, that plant safety rules were established, that joint safety committees were organized and that the workforce was provided with training and safety information was also critical. Results, as expected, were comparable with the industry average.

SAFETY MISSION STATEMENT:
“To be the best of the best in the industry as measured by the Recordable Case Rate (RCR)”.

In 2001, Smurfit-MBI implemented a proven and superior safety process from our parent company Smurfit – Stone Container Corporation (SSCC), called S.A.F.E, Smurfit Accident Free Environment. In order to coordinate the S.A.F.E. process, each plant in the organization designated one or more SAFE Champions who were trained as resource personnel and responsible for its implementation and administration. Later that year, Smurfit-MBI hired a Safety Manager to assist plant management and the SAFE Champion network in its implementation. The results far exceeded the industry average in Canada. This was further supplemented by the addition in 2005 of two Area Safety Coordinators.
