From the very beginning, J.R. McWane was an unwavering advocate for a Safety First workplace culture. He was committed to protecting the life and health of every team member by putting people first – and that commitment extended to customers, business partners and communities.
Safety performance remains a top priority for us today. We go beyond general compliance standards to ensure our products are produced in the most responsible manner. This is evidenced by our outstanding recognition by OSHA in its Voluntary Protection Program (VPP).
VPP Star Sites
McWane actively participates in this program to maintain exemplary health and safety practices at our facilities. Companies that receive the “Star Site” designation have achieved injury and illness rates at or below the national average of their respective industries. These sites are self-sufficient in their ability to control workplace hazards.
McWane facilities that are certified as VPP Star Sites include:
- Clow Valve Metal Casting Facility (Oskaloosa, Iowa)
- McWane Ductile (Coshocton, Ohio)
- McWane Ductile (Phillipsburg, New Jersey)
