Roseburg spotlights safety culture and recognizes health and safety leaders across its operations

Roseburg says its annual EHS meeting reinforced three core safety priorities and recognized team members for safety leadership across North American sites.

What happened: Roseburg Forest Products highlighted workplace safety during its annual Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) team meeting, bringing together EHS professionals from company manufacturing sites across North America to review performance, share best practices, and recognize achievements.

Key details: The company emphasized three priorities: safe behavior and decisions at all times, proactive recognition and mitigation of risk, and accountability for ourselves and others. Roseburg said nine team members received awards recognizing contributions to a healthier and safer workplace.

Safety milestones cited: Roseburg reported a long streak without lost time or restricted work incidents in forestry operations, multiple mills going a year or more without DART events (Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred), and 1,800 potential hazards reported in 2025 that resulted in work orders, simple fixes, or corrective actions.

Why it matters for shops: Updates like this are a reminder that a measurable safety culture is built with repeatable routines – not posters. Even small shops can borrow the structure: track leading indicators like hazard reporting, review lagging indicators like lost time incidents, and keep compliance and daily decisions aligned with workplace safety expectations.

For shops

• Add one weekly check tied to your biggest injury driver (guarding, housekeeping, lifting, electrical) and log it.
• If you already track DART or injury data, pair it with near-miss or hazard reporting so you catch problems earlier.
