Winners of the eCompliance NXT 2018 EHS Excellence Awards are selected from three categories: Change Agent Award, Safety Nerd Award and the David Ellis Award. The awards commend companies that are shaping the future of sustainable products and are rooted in novel and efficient strategies that guarantee safety and quality for its employees and clients, which the acrylic veteran prides themselves on.

“Safety is always top of mind in our projects and I’m proud to work with colleagues and a company that is at the forefront of leading the charge of best practices,” said Paul Kobishop, Global Director of Quality and Safety at Reynolds. “It is imperative in our line of work to mitigate as much workforce risk as possible while also building the impossible, a task that Reynolds has mastered.
