Plants forestry workers

Anthony Forestry Products is a fourth generation, family-owned lumber and wood products company. Its laminated wood products plant in El Dorado, Arkansas, employs a staff of 80. The company initiated efforts to improve its safety practices and, in 2001, began working with OSHA s On-Site Consultation Program on a voluntary basis to put in place a working safety and health management system. By 2002, the site was accepted into the SHARP. As a result of this work, the company s workers compensation loss rate (in losses per 1,000 of payroll) decreased from 18.20 in 1998 to 0.30 in 2007.
