A PAPER mill has been rewarded for its safety record.
The St Regis Paper Company's Hollins Paper Mill, Darwen, won the award from the British Safety Council for its health and safety policy.
"If all organisations reached this standard I am quite sure we could reduce accidents at work by 75 per cent saving 400 lives a year," said James Tye, director general of the BSC.
"St Regis Paper Company has taken the safety initiative and is now among an elite of top companies for its safety record."
