CertainTeed plant honoured for safety

McADAM, N.B. — CertainTeed Insulation Canada has announced that its Ottawa plant is the latest to be inducted into the Saint-Gobain’s Millionaires Club, a program designed by the parent company to reward plants that have operated at least one million work hours without a lost-time accident. The Ottawa plant is only the 12th out of 66 Saint-Gobain insulation facilities worldwide to be so recognized. “Our employees are really proud to have worked over four years without a loss-time accident,” said John Polnick, the plant’s health and safety manager, in a statement. “I was a production worker for 12 years before moving into management four years ago so I know the importance of being recognized for a job well done.”
