WestRock earns safety certification

To earn the certification, WestRock developed and implemented systems to identify, evaluate, prevent and control occupational hazards. Work sites receiving the certification have lost-workday incidence rates half the industry average. WestRock Nicholasville employs about 200 people and is the 12th Voluntary Protection Program certified site in Kentucky.
