(RUSSELLVILLE, SC) The Roseburg Forest Products Particleboard Plant in Russellville earned the distinguished OSHA Voluntary Protection Program Palmetto Star award for outstanding excellence in safety performance and systems. Plant employees celebrated their accomplishments at a flag-raising ceremony on March 30th.

"It's comforting to know that Roseburg Forest Products makes employee safety a priority," says Caldwell Pinckney, Jr., President of the Berkeley Chamber of Commerce, " this company is a shining example of excellence, and we are proud that the plant continues to make Berkeley County its home!"

Most of the 150 plant employees become actively involved in safety committees and safety processes. The Russellville Particleboard continues its legacy of maintaining an excellent safety record.

"Over the years, we've worked very hard to ensure we have systems in place to keep our employees safe," says Steve Carroll, Plant Manager, "we want their families to feel secure in knowing that their loved one is leaving home and entering a safe work environment. It's a team effort, and I applaud all of our employees for their dedication to excellence!"

Roseburg purchased the Russellville Particleboard Plant from Georgia-Pacific last December, and is considering growth opportunities for the business. Plant cleanliness goes hand-in-hand with safety and efficiency, and the Russellville Particleboard employees demonstrate a keen determination to create a safe and efficient work environment.
