for NWP and sets the bar for all of our facilities.” said Terry Petko Director of Environmental and Safety Compliance for the Pacific Wood Preserving Companies (“PWP”), of which NWP is a member.

SCATS held an award ceremony at the NWP plant to celebrate the Safe Partner award. Dan Young, NWP Plant Manger, especially singled out NWP employee Janie Silliman, the plant’s safety director, for her efforts. Young said, “This was definitely a group effort that involved every employee, but I would be doing an injustice if I did not acknowledge Janie’s exemplary work to keep our employees, our environment and our community safe.” NWP received a certificate that will be displayed in the company’s office.
