The National Safety Council has recognized eight Koppers Industries' facilities for their outstanding safety records with the prestigious 1998 Perfect Record Award for operating more than 150,000 hours without a lost workday case. Safety, at its most basic elements, is about people making an individual and collective commitment to look out for one another.
Safety is good for people and good for business.
