“We are thrilled to be recognized as one of America’s Safest Companies by EHS Today. As a leader in our industry, we feel that safety is not just an aspirational goal, it is the core way of working across our more than 20 sites each day,” said Dave Banyard, MasterBrand’s president and CEO.

EHS Today is the go-to publication on trends, management strategies, and regulatory updates helping organizations provide safe and healthy work sites. Since 2002, only ten organizations annually earn this award in recognition of their safety efforts.

Each year, EHS Today compiles its America’s Safest Companies list with a goal of not only honoring companies that demonstrate excellence in safety leadership, but also raising the bar for safety across all industries from manufacturing to medical and agriculture to hospitality.
