Wood Panel Manufacturer Marks Safety Milestone with Charity Donations

WOOD PANEL MANUFACTURER, West Fraser (trading as Norbord), has celebrated three years without a Lost Time Accident (LTA) at its Inverness mill by supporting six community groups and charities with cash donations.

Safety Milestone

Staff at the site commemorated reaching the milestone in safety performance in mid-January by giving back to the community and offering £1,000 to a variety of groups who work to support and benefit the local area.

The groups and charities were Highland Hospice, Cash For Kids, mental health support charity Mikeysline, Inverness Marie Curie Nurses, Drummond School and Inverness Food Bank – which all received £1,000 each to help them provide vital support to the Inverness area.

Stuart Hendry, General Manager at the West Fraser site in Inverness, said: “The three years without a Lost Time Accident holds up our dedicated commitment to safety and staff wellbeing at West Fraser.

“Not only do we look out for each other on site but staff also wanted to extend this culture to the surrounding local area by supporting these fantastic charities within the community. We are thankful and proud to support these charities in the vital role they play in helping others.”
