LP Building Solutions (LP), a manufacturer of high-performance building products, has been recognized as a ‘2022 Safest Company Award’ winner by APA – The Engineered Wood Association. Now in its 15th year, LP has won this prestigious recognition 11 times. This safety award program for the structural panel and engineered wood industry in North America selects winners based on the lowest rates and severity of injuries, greatest reductions in injuries, innovations to reduce injuries, and best company record. APA conducts an industry-wide safety survey of member and non-member mills who report their recordable, restricted work, lost time, and fatality incidents and hours worked to APA each calendar year by submitting their annual OSHA 300A Log. This year, more than 80 mills reported data for 2022. In addition to the ‘Safest Company Award,’ LP's oriented strand board facility in Ponta Grossa, Brazil, won APA's ‘Three-Year Safety Award,’ which is presented to mills with the best average weighted incident rates over the last three years. Additionally, the facility won APA's ‘Safety and Health Honor Roll Award.’
