2017 Safety Person of the Year

One of the best things I get to do as the Safety Guy at Dennis Paper & Food Service is recognize exceptional employees who work hard and do it safely. I’m proud to say that a culture of safety exists among our team, something that shows with our safety record and the fact that (as of today) we are 1035 days without a lost-time accident or injury. Employees who show up every day and do their job well, and do it safely, help make my job a lot easier…
