Aug. 19, 2026 - Buckeye Corrugated, Inc. (BCI) welcomed employees, government officials, community leaders, and guests to its Cedar Falls facility on Friday, Aug. 14, to celebrate the plant's acceptance into the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP).
The recognition distinguishes BCI Cedar Falls as a model for workplace safety and health among its industry peers and reflects the facility's commitment to maintaining a safe, healthy, and supportive working environment for its employees.
Guests experienced firsthand how safety is integrated throughout the Cedar Falls operation. Attendees toured the manufacturing facility, viewed production equipment and processes, connected with BCI team members, and learned about the systems and practices that helped the facility earn SHARP recognition.
"Achieving SHARP recognition is a direct reflection of our employees and their commitment to looking out for one another every day," said Andrew Ogden, General Manager, BCI Cedar Falls. "Safety is not simply a policy or program at this facility. It is part of our culture and an essential part of how we operate. This achievement belongs to the entire Cedar Falls team."
SHARP recognizes qualifying employers that have used OSHA's On-Site Consultation Program and operate exemplary workplace safety and health programs. To qualify, participating facilities must complete a comprehensive consultation, correct identified hazards, and demonstrate an effective system for continuously identifying and addressing workplace safety risks.
