The United States Gypsum Company plant in Auburn recently earned the USG Corporation the Robert W. Campbell Award from the National Safety Council.

The award recognizes organizations that achieve excellence through the integration of environmental, health and safety management into business operations.

“Our top priority is the safety and well being of our people,” said Jim Metcalf, chairman, president, and CEO of USG Corporation. “Our employees have embedded safety into everything that they do, and their dedication to advancing our environmental, health, safety and sustainability initiatives is a key factor in our success.”

Campbell Award recipients are subjected to a rigorous, evidence-based review process and judged in key areas including integrated EHS management, leadership’s commitment to safety as a priority, employee engagement with EHS programs, and safety performance measures.

“Safety is a core value of our organization, and every employee is committed to working safely; every minute, every task and every day,” said Tim Miller, Auburn plant manager.
