START is administered by the Department of Labor & Industries (L&) and is modeled on a federal program. It recognizes workplaces with exemplary safety records that have shown a commitment to health and safety at work.
Plant manager Jamie LeBlanc gave credit to Jeff Marrs, an operator at the plant and the city’s safety representative, for pushing the idea of participating in the START program.
“It wasn’t easy, but it has definitely made the plant safer and a better place to work,” LeBlanc said. “This is a 40-year-old plant that runs 24 hours a day. We just want to make sure we are doing the best we can to keep everybody safe.” To view the official web page press click here
