The plant, based at Robert Street, is part of one of Europe s leading corrugated fibreboard packaging companies. Niall Rafferty, Director and General Manager, SCA Packaging Warrenpoint, presented the Lurgan plant with the award, which they won in the Company s European Safety Award Scheme. The Silver Award recognises the plant s outstanding safety record, which stood at 1,643 days without a lost time accident on Wednesday, April 11 this year. To celebrate winning the award SCA Packaging Lurgan will be donating 250 to charity - the World Gospel Mission. The money will help a group of local teenagers to travel to Kenya where they will assist with aid work for two weeks.
Safety is all about people s attitude towards their work.
It is a key management discipline and along with absenteeism and overtime it indicates how much control we have in particular Operating Units. It is no coincidence that well managed units also tend to have good safety records. Colm a few months ago moved his Decor Trophies shop from William Street to North Street and decided a new cash register was also overdue. The old till was just about past it , he said, so he called Walter Quinn of Craigavon Business Machines. All very simple.
