Safety & Health

The FBA Safety and Health Committee brings together members from a variety of companies for an informational sharing forum on best practices in the areas of safety and health. This committee allows participants to get expert opinions about issues in their facilities, in areas such as OHSA compliance and plant safety.

This committee works to identify safety and health issues and concerns within the corrugated industry and creates an collaborative position on current matters in efforts to unite the industry with one voice.
