Clean Harbors just announced that it has earned VPP Star status from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Voluntary Protection Program  for its Kimball, Nebraska Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facility.

This award is based on the plant’s safety record and is a step up from its previous “Merit” designation. In a press release, the Kimball facility’s general manager, Jared Hunsaker, commented on the award:

“VPP Star is another great accomplishment but we are most proud of the safety culture that VPP endorses. Thanks to our employees’ efforts we work at one of the safest TSDFs in the country. Our safety practices protect employees and the community while assuring our customers that their waste is being handled in accordance with the highest OSHA standards.”
