The Department of Labor and Industries (L&I) in Washington state gave a workplace safety award to Columbia Vista Corp. in Vancouver.
The award is part of L&I’s Voluntary Protection Program (VPP), which recertified the Vancouver company as a STAR site. The designation means the facility continues to reach the highest level of workplace safety. It recognizes the company’s management and employee commitment and participation in an ongoing safety and health program, and means Columbia Vista Corp. successfully passed an L&I audit and extensive onsite review.
“The safety of our workforce is a top priority at Columbia Vista,” said Robert Lewis, president. “On behalf of our employees, we are honored by this award because it recognizes their ongoing commitment and dedication to a safe workplace.”
Columbia Vista has 92 employees working at two Clark County facilities: a mill located along the Columbia River, and a dry kiln remanufacturing plant located in the Fruit Valley area. (workersxzcompxzkit)
This was the company’s first re-evaluation since its initial VPP approval in 2005. Only 2,000 work sites, out of more than seven million nationwide, have received a VPP award.
